About Me

Some of my work has appeared, or is scheduled to appear, in Heat City Review, Powhatan Review, Salt River Review, The Pedestal Magazine, Pebble Lake Review, Foliate Oak, Spillway Review, The Story Garden, River Walk Journal, The Angler, Lily, Thunder Sandwich, Flashquake, Verbsap, Unspoken Dreams, Prose Toad, and 3711Atlantic.

I'm also the "J" and the "C" of one of Maine's loudest bands: JC and the Pickups. I'll be adding more about that later.

I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks,
Justin
