I’m Ross Gale.
I’m a writer and a hockey coach. And work as a social and media communicator person for a secret government organization. I live in Portland, Oregon.
I have a beautiful wife who brings me so much joy.
I have my Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Seattle Pacific University.
I believe in the power of Christ, and in words, and that what is dead can be made alive; that what doesn’t exist can be created.
My work is featured in Relief Journal, Archipelago, and I was a finalist for Glimmer Train’s Short Fiction Award (am I stretching to find accomplishment here?), other bragging-rights accomplishments pending.

Yes. Love it. Nice work Gale.
Hey…I like the new pik. Is that a 3 or 5 karat diamond?
5 naturally.
Hey man, I noticed you posted some quotes from my interview with Rob Bell. Then I noticed you are from Portland, Me too!!
That interview is part of a greater book I am writing on the convergences of art and faith. I am always up to meet new peeps, especially people with common interests, like writing, art, faith etc.
want to dialogue?
Ross,
I’m looking for a new read…what books do you recommend?
ps: loved the acoustic version of mrs. officer. Elmo might have had something to do with that tho. You do any other music?
Kristen, if you like slow moving fiction that focuses more on characters than plot I’d recommend Marilynne Robinson. Charles Martin is an amzing Christian author, Where the River Ends, is his best novel. No One Belongs Here More Than You by Miranda July is a great book of experimental short stories. If you’re into non-fiction I’d recommend Donald Miller.
Thanks, I’ll check them out. By the way, LOVED your web series, the siblings. I really think you got something good in the works. Very funny. When did you start it? and what do hope to do with it once it further develops?
Thank you. We started over the Thanksgiving break. It’s hard to film because we’re not always together during the same time, but maybe Fox will pick it up
Miranda July wirtes wonderfull short stories!
Hey! Remember me? I’m your blog! You remember, don’t you? Oh come on, sure you do. You used to place short stories and witty observations about life on me. Sometimes even beautiful poetry. And I would take it all and share it with the world.
Gosh, we’ve had some good times, haven’t we? Especially when the Hockey House Wiffle Ball League was in full swing. Ahhh, Team Faith was my favorite.
But look, the point is, I’m lonely. You don’t share your work with me anymore and I’m beginning to feel left out. Abandoned. A shell of my former, robust self. I just don’t think I can take it anymore.
So when are you coming back, RC?
