Biography
Born in Nacogdoches, Texas, I received my B.A. in Humanities from the University of Texas at Austin and an M.A. and Ph.D. in American Literature from the University of Minnesota. I taught American literature and creative writing at the University of West Florida from 1994-2003 and served as the Chair of the Department of English and Foreign Languages there from 2000-2002. 

Tenured and promoted to Associate Professor at the University of West Florida in 1999, I served as the Founding Director of the Carson McCullers Center for Writers and Musicians at Columbus State University in McCullers’s hometown of Columbus, Georgia, from 2001-2003. After completing an MFA in Fiction Writing at the New School University in New York in 2008, I relocated to Rome, Italy, where I am now Professor and Chair of the Department of English Language and Literature at John Cabot University.  I am also the Academic Adviser for the Italy Reads program and the Institute for Creative Writing and Literary Translation at JCU.

My academic books include an edition of The Collected Works of Carson McCullers ​in two volumes (Library of America). and "Illumination and Night Glare": The Unfinished Autobiography of Carson McCullers (University of Wisconsin). With Carolyn Leste Law, I edited Out in the South (Temple) and This Fine Place So Far From Home: Voices of Academics from the Working Class (Temple).

My work with SJ Rozan, under the pseudonym Sam Cabot, includes Blood of the Lamb (Penguin / Blue Rider 2013) and Skin of the Wolf (Penguin / Blue Rider 2014).
