About Me
I have been writing in some form or other ever since I was nine or ten years old. From plays to poems, teleplays to comic books, I have tried my hand at pretty much every medium imaginable.
Having received my BA in film production with a philosophy minor from Keene State College in Keene, New Hampshire, I spent ten years in the independent film scene in Boston, where I was involved in various capacities in a handful of films. I also wrote and directed a feature-length film of my own, Whatever Makes You Happy, which played at several film festivals across the country. The film won Best Feature Film at the Treasure Coast International Film Festival in 2011.
Feeling disillusioned with my progress in film, I decided to focus on my first true love—writing, specifically speculative fiction prose. I had never actually stopped writing stories at any point in my life, but now I decided to devote my full efforts and attention toward them.
Since then I have had great success in the short story market, with my stories having appeared in Analog Science Fiction and Fact on multiple occasions, three of which have also been AnLab finalists. Other publications where my work has appeared are Haven Speculative, Aurealis, Utopia Science Fiction, Andromeda Spaceways, and StarShipSofa. A more detailed list of all of my publications can be found here.
My first short story collection, Signals in the Static, was released by Lethe Press in May 2024. My debut novel, The Last Days of Good People, appeared in Analog Magazine in 2024, and then was published as a standalone novel in 2025 by Jab Books. My second novel, The Asterist, will be released in October 2026 by Diversion Books.
Born in Kansas City, raised in New Hampshire, I live in Brooklyn and like to read in coffeehouses.
