From Dan Wickett: "He was a winner of the Flannery O'Connor Short Fiction Award back in 1986 with the collection, Silent Retreats, and having recently re-read this, I was reminded just how damn good it was. He's since published many a story in literary journals, seeing his name in Pushcarts, O'Henry's and BASS anthologies in recent years. He has another story collection and a novel he's shopping around and I look forward to seeing them in print by 2007."
