Welcome.

I’m a published writer of science fiction and fantasy short stories.  My first novel, Wide Open, will be published by Tor in March, 2012.

I currently live in central Iowa and work at Iowa State University.  I grew up on a sometime dairy farm in western New York.  I went to a couple of different universities and got a couple of different degrees.  I’ve lived in Indiana, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and Iowa.  I’ve been a farmhand, a factory worker, a statistician, a researcher, an educator and an IT professional.

I have dogs.  I like them lots.
