I’m a writer-runner living in Portugal, where I am newly arrived after a life that has taken me from the midwest to Texas to northern California to Alaska. Our 5 acre property in Portugal features many buildings in various states of decay and collapse, a flock of feral chickens and large spaces for gardens and orchards that we have replanted and are keeping us busy year-round. Meanwhile in Alaska we’re building too - a tiny house in a rugged little community in the southcentral part of the state. I look forward to the day I will sleep in a bed that isn’t a mattress on the floor in a tent - as of this writing, it’s been more than a year. I also look forward to discovering new trails to run - I’ve run more than 100 marathons and 10 ultramarathons. So i addition to the renovations that have taken over my life I write about all of these things, and my dog, when I’m not writing horror, which is my happy place, and the persistence of grief, which is something I am only just getting a handle on. My first book (for middle graders, which I eternally am) will be published in 2024.
