Chinatown used to trim M. Leland Oroquieta's hair under careful, Guangzhou hands. There's a novel in the works, though he likes to tinker with short fiction as well. You can read those stories in venues drenched with coffee-stains, such as Ink Sweat & Tears, The Galway Review, Cricket Online Review, Queen Mob's Teahouse, Lunaris Review, Origins Journal, Zeroflash, and elsewhere. He lives on the edge of an ocean of cars chasing the Santa Ana winds.
