about this author
My debut short story collection Wifeshopping won the 2007 Bakeless Prize for fiction from the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference and will be published by Houghton Mifflin in July 2008. Stories from it have been published in Gulf Coast, Mississippi Review, The Journal, The Pinch, and elsewhere. Excerpts, reviews, and (coming soon) some video are posted at my website.
I've also started a literary blog called How It Feels to Be in which I'll talk about the craft of fiction and the writing life. Hope you'll join me there.
