About this author

I have a B.A. in English literature from St. Olaf College and an M.F.A. in writing from Hamline University.

A finalist for the Indiana Review Fiction Award and the Iowa Fiction Award, I've worked as an optician, a standardized test scorer, a farm hand, an editorial assistant, a trash picker for St. Paul public housing, a library circulation assistant, and as a child minder on a British cruise ship.

THE SUICIDE COLLECTORS is my publishing debut.


The foreign rights for The Suicide Collectors have recently been sold to Spain's La Factoría de Ideas, a science fiction publisher. This marks the book's second foreign rights sale, the first being the Italian rights. I'm excited to see the book translated into other languages. I like the idea of people in various parts of the world coming to Norman's story in their own language.

Cheers,
Dave read more »
