I'm a novelist, an independent thinker, and a recovering academic. I've a degree in history, graduate degrees in religious studies, comparative literature, and education, and have spent more than a decade teaching philosophy, religious studies, writing, and literature. I live in northern Colorado, and when I'm not at my desk, I love to hike, run, read, and study languages. Sign up to receive updates about new publications, news, and events at https://indyperro.com.
