Personal Statement

I write fiction and lately some creative nonfiction, and I am also wondrously engaged in husbandry with my wife, Jenna. Over the years we've raised five children, a small flock of sheep and chickens, and two dozen fruit trees, and all these things appear in my written work one way or another.
