Fiction Editor for Blood Lotus and loves working with the two most beautiful and talented poets this side of paradise. John received his MFA in Writing from Spalding University in May 2006 with an emphasis in fiction. However, he has been immersed in the wonderful world of screenwriting for the last six months, collaborating with author Matt Jenkins on a screenplay. John lives in the Sunny Gunny of the Colorado Rockies, where he plays ice hockey to keep warm on those 20 below nights. He doesn't know if that's magic or tragic but loves it all the same. |
