Bio

My short fiction has been featured in The Adirondack Review, Barbaric Yawp, The Illuminata, Chick Flicks, Afternoon, The Circle, Citizen Culture,  I Like Monkeys, New Witch Magazine, MudRock: Stories & Tales, Waxing & Waning, Wrong World’s multi-media anthology, I’m Going to Tell You One More Time, and many, many others. Skeletons in the Swimmin’ Hole: Tales from Haunted Disney World, a collection of ghost stories set in Disney Parks, is now available at www.haunteddisneytales.com, Amazon and all the usual outlets under the imprint Admit One Literary Theme Park Press. My short story “Doors” appears in Carpe Articulum Literary Review‘s Fall 2010 issue.

My horror novel Bad Apple is forthcoming from Vagabondage Books in Winter 2012.

I’m the host of the “Dead Letters” paranormal fiction segment on The Ghostman & Demon Hunter Show, an editor for Read Short Fiction, and the recipient of Norman Mailer Writers Colony Winter 2010, 2011, and 2012 Residencies.

I hold a BA in Creative Writing in Literature from Burlington College in Vermont and an MFA in Creative Writing from Goddard College; prior to all of that, I was a student at the University of Rhode Island, where today I’m a member of a monthly writing critique group. My influences include Joyce Carol Oates, Edgar Allan Poe, Daniel Pearlman, Haruki Murakami, Koji Suzuki, Gina Ochsner and David Means, among at least thirty others. I’m constantly looking for ways to blend my favorite genres’ hallmarks, film’s visual qualities, and literature’s human themes in my writing. When do I have the most fun? Revision, actually. That’s my favorite part.

I live in the Connecticut woods with my housemate, Charles, my fiancé, Nathan, and three cats, and I still frequently go to bed with the lights on.

If you’d like to look at my full CV, it’s posted here as a PDF.
