Intro to Me and My Work and Obsessions

[John]

I have worked as a radio reporter, an advertising copywriter, a technical writer, a speechwriter, a public information officer, an executive director of a non-profit organization and most recently as an assistant dean at an independent law school in Chicago.

My short stories have been published in Crosscurrents, Old Hickory Review, the Piedmont Literary Review, the Minotaur, Snapdragon, Four Quarters, FlashFiction, Quick Fiction, Bear River Review and Inside Running.

In the summer of 1999, I was awarded a professional artist residency at the OxBow Summer Arts Program for the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in Saugatuck, Michigan. He served as a Vietnamese linguist in the Air Force during the Vietnam War and lives in Downers Grove, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, with his wife.

I am the author of the novel A Life Without Grace and Hunter’s War, A Novella, and Selected Short Stories, both available from Amazon.com.

When not writing, I read (of course), play guitar (and write ballads), play poker (for fun and profit) and dabble at golf (although not as obsessively as I did when I was younger).

I'll put this in the Blogs folder.
