I write short stories and am working on a novel based on my epiphanies about American capitalism in the face of climate change. This is how my fiction editors describe my writing:
“We’re taken by the confident voice of the narrator and the feel of a classic John Collier offering—in which the setting and the characters are engaged in things so utterly ordinary, there couldn’t possibly anything amiss.” “…weird and charming.”
— Thomas F. Monteleone, Editor, Borderlands Fantasy Series
