Salutations,
 
Thank you for visiting my website, whether you're here to learn about my writing or just cyberstalking. If you can't find what you're looking for here, please use my contact form to get in touch.

I'm an American writer living in England. I have a degree in ecology from CU Boulder and an MA in Creative Writing from the University of Bristol.


I write literary fiction, often with speculative elements. Links to my published writing can be found below. I've also worked as editor here and there, including as lead editor and cat herder for The Bristol Anthology 2024. Some authors I love include Barbara Kingsolver, Octavia Butler, Annie Proulx, William Gibson, Percival Everett, George Saunders, Max Porter, and Rita Bullwinkel.

When I'm not writing or reading, I run a flower farm with my wife. I'm neither a dog nor a cat person; I adore both equally. If that ain't controversial, I don't know what is.

Excelsior!


Charlie
