This person is the author of Sam The Cat, a book of short stories, which came out several years ago and received some fine notices, finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book of the Year, New York Times Notable Book, etc. Will he ever write another book? This is a question that has been asked by others. He is involved in other projects, and has taught the craft of writing to a select few both domestically and abroad. He holds the position of Visiting Associate Professor at Southampton College in New York, and will teach this summer at the Southampton Writing Conference, and maybe also at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, MA. He is a contributor to Gentlemen's Quarterly Magazine.
