Nick Desjardins grew up an army brat, bouncing around the south. As a teenager he started collecting books and records, and when college came, he couldn't quite figure out what to do. The depression probably didn't help. Leaving behind a mostly finished degree, he took to traveling and menial labor jobs, typing away on a beat-up laptop any chance he could get. He's had short fiction published in A Literation, The Underground Literary Journal, Pique Magazine, and Human Parts. He's served as fiction editor for A Literation, as well as content reader for Birch Gang Review. He spends far too much time trying to figure out the musical preferences of his two dogs and hanging around dive bars.
