I have been nominated for the Hugo and a World Fantasy awards, and my first two novels, A Small and Remarkable Life (2006) and Valley of Day-Glo (2008), both received nominations for the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Best Novel of the Year. I've held many jobs since I was just a lad, including paperboy, dishwasher at a Catholic seminary, creative writing professor, indie bookstore owner, education director for a non-profit literary center, and writer/editor of corporate communications. I am a graduate of St. John Fisher College, and I earned my master’s degree from Empire State College in New York, focusing mainly on literature, philosophy, and writing. I love to read and write, and I am a lifelong mistake-maker. I hope you are too!vizualizați mai puține
