Rob Reynolds

I grew up as an Air Force brat. My family moved seven times in my first thirteen years before settling in Satellite Beach, Florida. In what seems like a previous life, I taught English for four years at Tom Petty’s alma mater, Gainesville High School. For much of my twenties I was an Evangelical Christian. I attended a seminary near Boston, lost my faith, and subsequently began writing creatively. In 1994 I fled the freezer for the frying pan and moved to Austin, where I remain.

San Francisco's Outpost19 published my novel Wire Mother Monkey Baby in 2017. My short fiction has appeared in a number of publications, including the anthology You Have Time for This: Contemporary American Short-Short Stories. The Harvard Review and the Boston Book Review have published more than a dozen of my book reviews. You can check out more of my writing at robreynolds.me.
