Assistant Professor

I teach a variety of courses, from FTS to American Literature to creative writing; my main area of interest, in scholarly, teaching, and personal ways, is Fiction Writing. I love to listen to stories, to how they are told, to consider the importance of stories in our social structures, our cultural heritage, and our daily lives. I also love to write them: I'm at work on a novel, Haints, which is about a Civil War reenactment run amok, but I am always writing and rewriting stories and essays as well.
When I'm not lost in a good tale, I enjoy playing the banjo and harmonica (poorly), listening to music, camping, and hanging out with my hound dogs.
