CHARLIE QUIMBY is the author of Monument Road, an Indie Next pick and Booklist Editors’ Choice in 2013. He began his writing career as a playwright and arts journalist, veered into corporate communications, and then founded a marketing agency that now purrs along without him. Along the way, he collected awards and developed the notion that he had a few good novels in him. A native Coloradan and adopted Minnesotan, he is at home in both places.
