A collection of his short stories, Space Magic, from Wheatland Press (http://www.wheatlandpress.com), won the Endeavour Award in 2009. In January of 2010 he spent two weeks at a simulated Mars base in the Utah desert. He lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife, Kate Yule, with whom he edits the fanzine Bento.
