Jeff McElroy is the author of CALIFORNIOS and CALIFORNIOS 2, surf and mountain-inspired short story collections Mark Cunningham claims you have to read "before they get warped on the big screen." The floorboards of Jeff's truck are littered with sandy sex wax-smelling Camus and Cormac McCarthy paperbacks, and he once used the first forty pages of Edward Abbey's Desert Solitaire to start a survival bonfire on a late November backpack in the High Sierra. He'd like to think Abbey abides. Jeff splits his time between Ventura and the Eastern Sierras with his wife and Jack Russell Terrorist.
