| Bio: | I suppose I ought to write something here. I wouldn't want you to think that I was an enormous, sentient computer from the Andromeda galaxy merely masquerading as a human to lull your suspicions until the time when my armada of conquering robot arachno-weasels reach Earth. No, that wouldn't do at all.
So. The basics. I'm a late-thirties, tall-looming, left-leaning, book-reading, cat-serving, Michigan-living, cheese-eating white guy programmer type. I am also a fiction writer, and have a finished manuscript making the grand tour of the slush piles of publishers of dark urban fantasy. I have three published short stories, with (hopefully) more on the way. Additionally, I've written much for, and still write a little bit for, Superguy and Sfstory. When I'm not doing that, I create stuff for NeuroGog Designs, my shop on CafePress.
Before starting this LiveJournal in November 2004, I had an online journal ("Big Tall Man"; April 1999 - April 2000) and a weblog ("A Taste of Strange"; October 2000 - October 2002). I also have an infrequently-updated essay blog called Novitious, which I started in July 2006. Someday, perhaps, I'll backload select old entries from BTM and aToS into here. Someday, perhaps, I'll also learn the saxophone, transfer my brain into a stoat, and possibly even finish that Spanish-Klingon translation dictionary I've been meaning to start.
Bah! Humbug! |
