Introduction	Hello. I write fiction, mainly, and have completed a coming-of-middle-age novel, "Trout Kill," the first of a trilogy. I'm currently searching for a new agent and/or publisher. Other Vitals: Native Oregonian seeking stout beer, red wine and dazzling sentences. Prefers the beer from a tall bottle, the wine from a Mason jar, and the sentences from the shallow puddle of a muse. A rough-and-ready guy. Loves fiction, tolerates other stuff. Is not his own master. Seeks a bare modicum of fleeting fame and filthy riches, but gobs of love. Existentialist at heart. Loves paradox.
