Welcome!

I’m a writer and teacher living in Tennessee, where I work as an assistant professor in the English department at Tennessee Tech University. I’ve designed this site to showcase my publications. I write fiction, poetry, and essays. Some of my favorite authors are Adriana Trigiani, Lorraine Hansberry, Anne Moody, Dorothy Allison, Rick Bragg, Lee Smith, Mildred D. Taylor, Robert Morgan, and Anne Rivers Siddons.
