About Me
My first book, Extraordinary Renditions: 3 Novellas, will be published in 2010 by Coffee House Press. My short stories have appeared in Golden Handcuffs Review, Fiction International (#39 and #40), Hobart online, Oxford Magazine, Prague Literary Review, Chicago Noir (Akashic Books, 2005), and Mythtym (PictureBox, 2008). Others are pending in Conjunctions and Monkeybicycle. I also review books for the New York Times Book Review, San Francisco Chronicle, Washington Post, The Believer, and other fabulous periodicals. I'm currently The Southern Review Resident Scholar at Louisiana State University, where I teach creative writing and literature.
