Timber Toe
A Person with a Wooden Leg
"My Uncle Bob lost his leg in a zoo accident; I'd rather not get into the details. But now, when he comes over for holidays, we yell, 'Mom, old Timber Toe is here!'"
Hi. My first novel, Rock Bottom, was published by Back Bay Books/Little, Brown, in 2009, and is being staged as a musical by the Landless Theater Company in 2011. I am working on novels in which mishaps occur, and people must make those mishaps right, though sometimes they would prefer to just lie around and watch TV. I also teach at Seattle University, and prefer sunny days.
