Wutup! I'm a writer from Milwaukee, aiming to share the perspective of growing up in a tiny-big city. My work is largely about place, and my stories tend to be set in Milwaukee and the beautiful outlying areas of Wisconsin. I am largely influenced by my experience growing up with (or being raised by, more accurately) my LGBT friends, and my time working with the mentally ill. I try my hand at poetry, short stories, and novels; some published poetry.
