About Me

Four foot ten bread-baking fiddle-playing engineer. Fond of a well-placed quip. Highly flammable. All my pets have shells, which seems appropriate in an Uncatty Resemblance kind of way. I have no remorse about sneaking in TV Tropes links where you least expect them. None at all.

I have been, in some capacity, an apple salesman, destructive tester, cake decorator, radio personality, town musician, wraparound, lab monkey, code monkey, tutor, and rock-climbing instructor. For some reason I never write about any of that. Apparently I would rather have been a demon-hunting werewolf in the circus.*

I write short stories, but I've always got a novel or two going on, which you're welcome to ask me about. Especially if you happen to be the type who can help get them published. Hint, hint.

*Note to self: write novel about demon-hunting werewolf in circus.
