I'm the author of a number of short stories, essays, and articles, and am an active member of the SFWA. While I was born and raised in Alabama, I currently live in the Midwestern U.S. with my wife and two sons. Among my life's adventures includes work as an archeologist and a Peace Corps Volunteer.
I've published my fiction in Year's Best SF 14, Interzone, Analog: Science Fiction and Fact, Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show, Tales of the Unanticipated, The Mississippi Review, Diagram, Pindeldyboz, and other places. My stories have received a number of awards and honors, including being a finalist for the 2009 Nebula Award for Best Novella, winning both the 2008 and 2009 Interzone Readers' Polls, receiving a Minnesota State Arts Board Fellowship, being nominated for the BSFA Award, and being longlisted for the British Fantasy Award. My fiction has been reprinted in several languages, including French, Russian, and Czech.
I also co-founded the literary journal storySouth, through which I run the annual Million Writers Award for best online fiction, which has been highlighted by USA Today, the Utne Reader, and Novel and Short Story Writer's Market. My critical essays, book reviews, and news articles have been published in places like The New York Review of Science Fiction, The Pedestal Magazine, The Fix Short Fiction Review, and Monsters and Critics.
