I love to write about trials and the legal system, tabloid media, gender, horror, our cultural ideas about "evil," and humans' relationships with animals. If you want to send someone to Titanic, consider me.

Elsewhere
I got an MFA in fiction at Portland State University, taught a lot of classes, drank a lot of coffee, and published a lot of stories that could all be best described as Oregon Gothic. (I also wrote one about Nixon and Elvis being friends.)
I've also written nonfiction for the Toast, the Hairpin, the Awl, and more.
