Author's Bio

I teach literature and writing classes in a variety of academic settings, including online in the Lindenwood University MFA in Writing program, and I hold a Ph.D. in English studies from Illinois State University. For my creative writing, I'm most interested in revisionist fiction and experimental fiction. Through Twelve Winters Press, which I founded in 2012, I've published a revised and expanded edition of my novel Men of Winter, the novel An Untimely Frost, the novelette Figures in Blue, the novella Weeping with an Ancient God, the prismatic novel Crowsong for the Stricken, and the epistolary novel Mrs Saville. Twelve Winters publishes literary titles, fiction, poetry and creative nonfiction. We've expanded to include the imprints Shining Hall (children's literature) and Maidenhead Hall (adult literature).
