Receive occasional updates about Duskin’s fiction, publication news, and new work. No spam. No constant stream of process notes. Just meaningful updates when there is something worth sharing.
Duskin’s path to fiction has crossed several kinds of writing and inquiry. He studied sociology and communication studies at Texas Tech University, began in journalism, spent a decade working in the mental health field, transitioned into the internet web-building world, wrote technical and marketing communications, and finally user-experience research and design.
His professional work focuses on how people understand information, navigate systems, make decisions, and respond when those systems fail them. That perspective informs novels concerned with records, institutions, designed environments, family structures, and the distance between what an organization claims and what a person actually experiences.
Genealogy has also shaped his interest in the lives behind official documents—not simply names and dates, but the choices, silences, migrations, and unresolved stories that records leave behind.
Raised in the Houston area, Duskin now lives in Katy, Texas, with his wife, two daughters, and Oakley & Poppi, a pair of half Great Pyrenees who are rarely far from whatever is happening.
His connections to the Houston region, the South Plains, West Texas, East Texas, Gulf Coast, the Hill Country, Big Country, and Colorado continue to shape the places and communities in his fiction.
