Miles Standish Pickerel lived with his mother until he was thirty-six. After brief engagements as an adulterous husband, a neglectful father, and a larcenous employee, he unsuccessfully impersonated a cardiologist, cattle rustler, and visiting dignitary from Guyana. Currently, he is at work on the century’s first compendium of Mexican mechanics. He lives anonymously in an unnamed city south of the 25th parallel. He may or may not answer emails sent to poorgringo@sentrybooks.com.
