An avid traveler, Mountford has lived in Washington, D.C., New York, and Los Angeles, as well as Scotland, Sri Lanka, Ecuador, and Southern Mexico. His fiction has won numerous awards, grants and fellowships, and has recently appeared in Best New American Voices 2008, Boston Review, Phoebe, and Conjunctions.
He currently lives in Seattle with his wife and young daughter.
