edit data

Michael Carter’s short fiction, creative nonfiction, and photography appear regularly in literary journals, magazines, and anthologies. His most bothersome flash fiction was collected in Boneyard Tales (Greenbelt Press 2022). When he’s not at the keyboard or scavenging the boneyard, he can be found at the river’s edge fishing or RVing. He is a lifelong resident of the Western United States, descending from homestead ranchers and dry-land farmers in Eastern Montana, and railroad workers in the Hillyard District of Spokane, Washington.
