He sold his first short story to
The Horror Show
when he was seventeen, and has since published almost a dozen novels and a screenplay. He was nominated for a Lambda award for his first gay fiction title (2003) and also received a Best Screenplay nomination by the Thai Film Association (2012) in addition to being named one of the best general columnists in Mississippi (2011).

A wildly unsuccessful singer, songwriter, composer, father, and unrepentant loner, his work invariably focuses on the lost and broken and those who have been thrown away by modern society. He freely admits to using humor to cope with the pain of existence and can often be found with a sarcastic comment on his lips when confronted by life’s absurdity.

He currently lives in Tupelo, Mississippi, birthplace of Elvis.
