Bio

I was born and raised in Eugene, Oregon, famous for its raincloud. I live here with my wife, writer Loreen Heneghan, my daughter, and an indeterminate number of cats. I hope to be buried here someday, preferably after I've passed away.

In my day job, I'm a computer technician. My real job is writing speculative fiction, but I didn't know that until a few years ago. As my own boss, I was very upset with me when I found out. I'll probably fire me, but I can't do that until I've finished that novel.

News as of 01/17/2008 - I've officially started my period of eligibility for the John W. Campbell award, thanks to my Writers of the Future-winning story, Our Last Words.

News as of 01/28/2008 - I just sold The Leaf Gatherer, a gritty urban fantasy piece, to Electric Velocipede!

News as of 04/07/2008 - My daughter Beatrix just took her first steps!
