For 20 years I was a philosophy professor. Then I decided to do something different -- write speculative fiction stories! I've also gotten into photography and backpacking.

You can find my philosophy CV and articles here. I started a (now-dormant) humorous philosophy blog. Also, here are syllabuses for some of my favorite classes.

Fiction updates:

"The Long Crossing" in Crepuscular Magazine.

"That Is Enough For Me" forthcoming in Deep Wild Journal: Writing from the Backcountry

 "Birdcalls of the Carpathian Mountains" forthcoming in the speculative anthology from Metaphorosis entitled HOPE: The Thing with Feathers, ed. B. Morris Allen.
