About

I’m an editor (Portland Noir and other books), publisher (Future Tense Books), bookstore employee (Powell’s Books), collage artist, and author (the short story collection Creamy Bullets, the memoir, A Common Pornography and the novel, This Is Between Us). My book, I Made an Accident (Collages and Poems) was published by Clash Books in 2022. My new book, Sean the Stick, a collaboration with the artist Emma Jon-Michael Frank came out in January 2024.

My stories and essays have appeared in publications and websites such as Southwest Review, Diagram, Salon, The Rumpus, McSweeney’s, Tin House, Paper Darts, Joyland, Hobart, Longreads, Best Sex Writing 2012, and Best American Essays 2013.

I’ve lived in Portland, Oregon since 1992.

This is my website (born on January 5th, 2010) where I will update you on my projects, writings, and whereabouts. Welcome.
