Ian Woollen's short fiction has surfaced in a variety of places, including Juked, Split Lip, Massachusetts Review and Smokelong Quarterly. He received a Sherwood Anderson Prize from The Mid-American Review. A collection of his short stories, Live At The Lark Tavern, is forthcoming from Cornerstone Press. His novels have won awards too. He and his musician wife live and work in Bloomington, Indiana. They were the proverbial grad students who never left town. That was not the original plan, but it has turned out okay.
