You’ve reached my web site. Imagine that. I’ve been writing and teaching and raising children, and neglecting my site. Here are some updates:

Dean was the incredibly grateful recipient of a 2008-2009 Guggenheim Fellowship in Fiction.

Dean's second novel, now in its eleventh draft, has weathered the near-collapse of the publishing industry and is slated to appear in spring 2011. My American Unhappiness will be published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, where Dean has happily been reunited with editor Adrienne Brodeur, the woman who helped launch his career by publishing a story called “Please Don’t Come Back from the Moon” in Zoetrope: All-Story in Summer 2001.

Dean is now a professor in the MFA Program in Creative Writing & Environment at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa.

Dean is on Facebook. To get updates on Dean’s publishing activities, readings, and events, you can be his friend there.
