Nick Desjardins grew up an army brat, bouncing around the south until settling in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. As a teenager he started collecting books and records, and when college came, he couldn’t quite figure out what to do. The depression probably didn’t help. Leaving behind a mostly finished degree, he took to traveling and menial labor jobs, typing away on a beat-up laptop any chance he could get. He’s had short fiction published in A Literation, The Underground Literary Journal¸ Pique Magazine, and Human Parts. He’s served as fiction editor for A Literation, as well as content reader for Birch Gang Review. He spends far too much time trying to figure out the musical preferences of his two dogs and hanging around dive bars. He has a serious problem not comically exaggerating his own biography and may or may not be part of a crack commando unit, wanted by the government, surviving as a soldier of fortune in some out-of-the-way South American country.
