My third novel, Badge, (unpublished) was named a finalist in the Pacific Northwest Writers Association's Literary Contest for 2011 in the Mainstream category.

My second novel, Ghost Notes, released on my own imprint Defunct Press in 2008, won the 2009 PODBRAM Award for best work of contemporary fiction.

My first novel, Stuck Outside of Phoenix, released in 2003 and re-released on Defunct Press in 2008, is being made into a feature film, which is scheduled to premiere in 2013.

I also released my first solo CD, Songs from Memory, in 2008, and my first audio book, Ghost Notes, a unique combination of music and spoken word, in 2009.

My shorter work has or will appear in The Writer, Writers' Journal and Pear Noir!, and online at Salon, The Los Angeles Review, Word Riot, The Collagist, PANK, JMWW, Bartleby Snopes, The Rumpus, The Nervous Breakdown and writersdojo.org.

In the 1990s I was co-founder, co-songwriter and bass player with the Refreshments.

I live in Portland, Oregon with my wife Raquel.
