Not-So-FAQ

Who am I?

I'm a writer and editor with experience in scientific copyediting, technical writing, and journalism. I'm trying to sell some fiction.

Why do I have a website?

For fun! I like to play around with things, and my own website is the best place to fiddle. It gives me a spot to stick the notes I take while researching settings, so I don't lose them and to help out others who might find them useful.

It's also a good place to log books I've read and recipes I've tried.

What am I working on?

A few novels set in a fantasy world based on Colonial America (in the same sense that many fantasies are based on Medieval Europe), and some fantasy short stories in that world and other worlds.

Tools
