关于我的

Many of the stories I write are set on the eastern shore of Maryland, where I grew up on the Tuckahoe River, surrounded by miles of corn and soybean fields. 从那时起, I’ve lived in North Carolina, 加州, 麻萨诸塞州, 纽约, 和宾夕法尼亚州, with long periods spent in France, 意大利, 和英格兰.

I love 教ing at Susquehanna for many reasons, one of which being that I share my position with my spouse, 西拉Zobal, 也是一名作家. 我们写, 教, raise two young children in Freeburg, a town four miles away from campus, we end up sharing a lot of our life (including two dogs, 三只猫, 鸡, 蜜蜂, 一个花园, 一个woodshop, a house built over a century ago) with students.

I’m the director of FUSE, a national organization for undergraduate editors that started right here at SU. We have a very active chapter that meets weekly. FUSE gives me the chance to travel with students all around the country, networking with other writers and editors, both students and professional.

One of my current 写作 projects is called The Woman and the White House. It’s a collection of autofictional pieces that revolve around working, 写作, 育儿, active citizenship. I’m also a translator, from French to 英语, my projects include a novel by Sylvie Weil, collections of short stories by Cyrille Fleischman. I co-translate with my friend 林恩巴勒莫, a French professor at SU.

我的第一本书， Unfinished Stories for Girls, a collection of 16 stories, came out with Fomite Press in May 2014. You can find other work I’ve written in the 哈佛大学的审查, North American Review, PANK, 和其他地方.

学术 & 创意作品

我的书, Unfinished Stories for Girls, published by Fomite Press in 2014, features sixteen stories accompanied by the artwork of my SU colleague Ann Piper. 这个评论 wrote that the book is: “Keenly observed and lyrical, an evocative collection with emotional heft.”

I started publishing stories in graduate school with the Paterson Literary Review, 路易斯维尔的审查, Crab Orchard Review, winning the Charles Johnson 学生 Fiction Award in 2006. 从那时起, I’ve been publishing fiction in the 哈佛大学的审查, North American Review, PANK, 喝醉了的船, 和其他地方.

I’ve co-written a chapter on how to write short fiction that appears in 创意写作 Guidebook, edited by 格雷姆·哈珀.

My newest passion is translation from French to 英语: I’m in love with the work of a writer named Cyrille Fleischman. My colleague 林恩巴勒莫 and I have completed his book of short stories called Destiny’s Repairman, we have started on a second book, Rendezvous at the Saint Paul Metro. My newest short stories echo Fleischman’s longing and humorous perspective. 其他 写作 projects include a novel titled 蒂娜, a creative nonfiction book about the Appalachian Trail, a book of flash autofiction provisionally called The Woman and the White House.
