This is my second time playing for Coach Bois, 10 years after I showed up in Breaking Madden www.sbnation.com/nfl/2014/10/...

Over the last decade, I've tried to push the limits of science fiction and fantasy with every book I've worked on. I've worked to contribute wonder, strangeness, and imagination to the field that built my own imagination. It's wonderful seeing that work recognized.

Annnnnnd that's it! I probably won't post again this year, so have fun in the sky and read everything I've ever edited. It's better than my social media was anyway.
