The Forgotten Prophet of Paperbacks

I write the truth. Nobody reads it.

I've spent my life in bus stations and cheap motels, chasing stories no one wants to read. My books sit on the bottom shelf next to the candy bars and batteries. People think science fiction is about rockets and robots. It's about the hole in the human heart and the lies we tell to fill it. You might not know my name, but I know yours. You're in one of my stories now.

What I'm Into: empty coffee cups, the sound of a bus engine, people who ask the wrong questions, the classifieds, the endings no one hears
