He has published several books. One collection of flash fiction, Girls, two collections of poetry titled Heroes of Silence and Heat Washes Through, a memoir titled My Name is Bill and a novel that came out in 2015 titled Flesh and Bone which was nominated for a Stonewall Award. His second novel, Comfortable Madness, is due out in 2018.
