About this author

edit data

I'm the author of We're All In This Together: A Novella and Stories, and co-editor (with John McNally) of the anthology Who Can Save Us Now. My writing has appeared in The Bellingham Review, Prairie Schooner, and One Story, as well as the anthologies Hang The DJ: An Alternative Book of Music Lists edited by Angus Cargill and When I Was A Loser: True Stories of (Barely) Surviving High School edited by John McNally. I've been nominated for a National Magazine Award and recognized in the Pen/O.Henry Prize Stories series. My first novel, Reenactment, will be published by Scribner in spring 2013.

My wife is the beautiful and mysterious Kelly Braffet. She has written two wonderful books, but my personal favorite is Last Seen Leaving.

Quotes Owen Likes

“I have known some horses and a good many more pigs who I believe harbored evil intent in their hearts. I will go further and say all cats are wicked, though often useful. Who has not seen Satan in their sly faces?”
