Cyclone Road: Homepage of Storm Chaser Amos Magliocco
Description
I'm a fiction writer and college instructor, teaching composition and creative writing at the University of North Texas. I finished an MFA from Indiana University in the spring of 2005, and m y stories and reviews have appeared or are forthcoming in Oxford Magazine, Iron Horse Review, Southwestern American Literature , and Indiana Review. I have a short story in the newly-released The Habit of Art: Best Stories From the Indiana University Fiction Workshop from Indiana University Press and I'm currently finishing revisions on my first novel, Remedy Wheel.
As for the life story, m y mother worked for the Veteran’s Administration and since my father was retired from the Army, we followed Mom's new assignments around the country, from Binghamton, New York, where I was born in 1969, to Austin and then Temple, Texas, then Tomah, Wisconsin, and finally, Bonham, Texas.
I attended Baylor University two years and transferred in 1989 to the University of North Texas in Denton, where my pals were having a far better time than I was in Waco. My friends had a band, Spirits of Innocence, so I quit school in 1993 to join the fun. Before it was over, I was managing three bands, writing for a music magazine, and booking acts for a local metal club called The Basement. I went broke anyway.
