Chad Simpson

aka @sadchimpson

Creative writing professor. A Taurus and a scholar.

You might think to yourself, who's that sassy, rosy-lipped townie in the Gizmo? That's no townie, it's Chad! (Though he is from Monmouth.)

Velvet blazers. Cigarettes. Bald-ass head. Hipster glasses. Raspy half-wisper: I was like, Chad...

He and his wife have a cooking blog which prominently features a plastic baby that may or may not come to life as they sleep.

Was almost kidnapped as an eighties child.

Had a string of odd jobs: packing meat (but not like that), security guard, juvy parole officer, etc etc.

Winner of Iowa's 2012 John Simmons Short Fiction Award.
