BIO

To his self-deprecating astonishment he's also been nominated for the Story South’s Million Writers Award twice without sending the judges so much as a thank you note. He co-edited the satiric transgressive fiction collection D*CKED: DARK FICTION INSPIRED BY DICK CHENEY and his debut novel KOKO TAKES A HOLIDAY is out now from Titan Books.

Lefty

Yesterday, I chatted with someone about scandals in sports. We tried to think of a sport, played professionally, that didn't have some kind of screw-up drama attached. Vexed to name one. He said bowling and I said sport climbing...but we both were unsure and agreed it's the class acts that elevate and provide hope that we all aren't gun-toting-pill-popping-philandering goons. We need guys like Phil. I'll be watching a lot of big guy golf this weekend...here's hoping Lefty snags another kelly green jacket.
