Author Biography and Bibliography

Nathan Ballingrud is a bartender in New Orleans, where he lives with his wife and daughter. He attended the Clarion Writer's Workshop in 1992, soon sold a couple of short stories, and—like any writer worth his salt—promptly decided he had nothing to say and stopped writing. Lately he has reconsidered that decision, largely because his friends from Clarion are finding success, and he is jealous. Also, he's had time to think of some things to say.
