About Stephen:
I don't know: I grew up in Texas, lived there for three and a half decades or so. Have never seen a whale, either from a distance or up close. I write more than's healthy, maybe. Have somehow made it across thirty-six years already. Not very good at video games, but fair at basketball. I would like to use the word 'pleniform' someday, and not in reference to an intake manifold. Sometimes I wish I were born five hundred years ago, so I could see things before fences and roads, but then, other times, I'll pull into a convenience store, push a button for 44 ounces of fizzing dr pepper, and man, I'm glad to be here, now. I've jumped off more tall things than I probably ever should have. I spend a lot of time being scared of things, and have what feels like the wrong idea that, if I can watch and read enough horror, and write enough of the bad stuff down, that it won't get to me anymore. I once ran a long way in front of a lot of dogs in the nighttime, and finally had to spend the night on top of the first roof I got to. I've had snake venom in me, for whatever that's worth. Have had a spider lay an egg in me too, when I fell asleep in the pen with my steer. Have stood in a melting field of snow and felt the ground shake under me and known that this is it, the world's ending, only to have a wall of horses come pounding up over the rise in their winter coats, their eyes wild, tails matted with slush. Have seen bad things happen too. Love to read theoretical physics, but can't quite follow the math. Dream that someday, in the Star Trek future I'm holding my breath for, some jumpsuited guy or girl might carry one of my books onto a grimy interstellar ship, and then leave it in some backwater port an impossible number of light years away, for another traveler to find, and maybe read, nod to him or herself that yeah, that's it all right.
Anyway, the facts, the stuff maybe not already bullet-pointed in these boxes all around here: I write fiction. Seven books published so far:

The Fast Red Road--A Plainsong
All the Beautiful Sinners
The Bird is Gone: a .."text-decoration:strikethrough;">Manifesto
