Denmark de la Croix
Currently living in West Virginia where he is perpetually shivering
(either from the cold or sheer existential panic), Denmark will
always be a Louisiana boy at heart. He was most recently published
in Velvet Mafia, and continues to receive the kindest, most remarkable
letters of praise from notable publications that wish him all
the best in finding homes for his stories elsewhere. When he
isn't writing or barely eking out a living, he is striving to
find the means and the place to spend the rest of his life, against
all odds, with his Brazilian boyfriend (oi amor).
