about this author

I live in Dayton, Ohio. I'm the author of THE OVERWHELMING URGE (Eraserhead Press, 2008), ZEROSTRATA (Eraserhead Press, 2008), JACK AND MR. GRIN (Eraserhead Press, 2008), MARKET ADJUSTMENT AND OTHER TALES OF AVARICE (Cargo Cult Press, forthcoming), and THE SORROW KING (Cargo Cult Press, forthcoming). In 2006, I won The Harrow Award for Short Fiction in a contest judged by Ramsey Campbell and Brian Keene. I will also have a story in the forthcoming anthology of stories inspired by the songs of Nick Cave, UP JUMPED THE DEVIL (P.S. Publishing).

I recently had some email banter with the Famous Award-Winning Author Mykle Hansen about, oh gosh, all kinds of things. You can read it on Powell's Books Blog HERE!

993934 Thanks for the reply1 :) Have palypal-will hook up in a month or two then!!!! Always get a few signed books from writers like you--not well known, but write great. Quimby's is such an experience--the range and depth of their shelves and the zines are amazing. they change around the shop every year or two. It my co-workers went in there, they would be disgusted! LOL!!! Thgey are so up tight, but they would never think i would adore shopping a store like that EVER!
I recommend a zine "The Inner Swine". You cane goggle it-it is on-line. Great writing by one ego.


message 55: by Noran

993934 love the pics from the Q!! Was that the first time you were there? I just adore the place--it drains my wallet every time. I was wondering if i can get signed books from you later this year. I would cover postage. Just email me me the how or the no. thanks. Sorry I could not get anyone to work for me that night.

578165 Andersen,

I will read it soon. You are lucky to be published. Could you read my first chapter of my memoir posted on my profile?

It was nominated for a Pushcart Prize.

However,no literary agent wants it yet. It's politically incorrect.

Check out ZEROSTRATA, my second release from Eraserhead Press!

Thanks for reading,

899082 Hey douche bag! Here's some spam for you:

My second release from Eraserhead Press, Zerostrata, is now available from:

Amazon

Barnes and Noble

My Website

Here’s a description:

After ten years, Hansel Nothing returns to his boyhood home, unable to remember anything that has happened to him since he left. Back home, he stays in Zerostrata, a treehouse in the backyard. The nothing family is as dysfunctional and depressed as ever. His mother keeps a cat on her head and incessantly munches prescription medication. His father has left the house to pursue a career as a superhero. His brother has become a shut-in, brooding in the darkened basement. Hansel realizes, after a life of sadness, a life only half-remembered, the only thing he wants is for himself and his family to be happy. But what type of bizarre world must he enter to obtain this happiness?
