I grew up in Erie, Pennsylvania and went to school at the College of Wooster and the University of Virginia. My short story collection, Skinny Dipping in the Lake of the Dead, was published in 2006 by Small Beer Press. It was a finalist for the Crawford Award. My first novel, Total Oblivion, More or Less, is out in November from Spectra. In the starred review, Booklist said: "There aren't many writers who take weirdness as seriously as DeNiro does, and fewer still who can extract so much grounded emotion, gut-dropping humor, and rousing adventure from it. A dizzying display of often brilliant, always strange, and definitely unique storytelling." I live outside St. Paul with my wife Kristin, 2 dogs, and 3 cats.
