His second collection of short fiction, STEALING PROPELLER HATS FROM THE DEAD (Perpetual Motion Machine), received a Starred Review from Publishers Weekly, who said, "Decay, both existential and physical, has never looked so good." His first novel, THE LAST PROJECTOR (Broken River), was called "A loopy, appealing mix of popular culture and thoroughly crazy people" by Kirkus Reviews, and his second novel, the western PIG IRON (Burnt Bridge/Blastgun), was optioned for film. He has also been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, was the Editor-in-Chief and co-founder of Flywheel Magazine, and the co-editor of HARD SENTENCES: Crime Fiction Inspired by Alcatraz and TALES FROM THE CRUST: An Anthology of Pizza Horror. His latest novel, HEAD CLEANER (Polis), was called "a nonstop thrill ride blending science fiction, horror, and a lot of humor, for readers who enjoy Chuck Palahniuk and Lauren Beukes" by Library Journal. He's also tinkering with several screenplays, including a prison movie, a thriller, and a western, and will probably adapt them into novels. He realizes this method is probably backwards.
