TRIVIA A
Im preparing to query my first novel, a dystopian satire called This Is the Way the World Ends.
My friends and I are now in our second season of Fantasy Beer League, a concept based on fantasy
football that I developed as an overly competitive, unnecessarily complex forum for us to try new beer.
In college I worked as a personal assistant to eccentric Boston University alum and multimillionaire
donor Earle M. Chiles, and every Friday I had to drive to a mausoleum to dust his parents graves.
