I make stuff up, I live on a boat, and I love to write. I'm fortunate in that I can earn a decent living at it. I currently work at En Masse Entertainment, but I've been an ubergeek, an archaeologist, a forensic anthropologist, and a few other things in my life. I've moved around a lot. Odds are good I've been where you are!
