I’m an award-winning fiction writer whose work has been published in Best American Mysteries, The Atlantic, GQ, The Missouri Review, The Southern Review, and elsewhere. I’m the author of the novel The Lost Son, the story collection Are We Not Men?, and the memoir Rattlesnake Daddy. My most recent book is The Last of Her, a crime thriller. I teach creative writing at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska and live in Ponca Hills, Nebraska with my wife, novelist Jonis Agee.
