About the Site

Put simply, this is my site. I pay for the hosting out of my own pocket. I do not accept or ask for any form of advertising or other compensation. I do this for fun.

My writing lives here.

I moderate all comments and will continue to do so. I don’t expect anything I say on this site to draw the kind of negative froth that shows up in a lot of comment sections around the Internet, but should that ever happen, know that I absolutely do not tolerate that kind of thing. Ad hominem attacks, off-topic rants, cruelty, bullying . . . all of that will get the comment instantly deleted.

Again, I don’t ever expect this to happen, but one never knows. So I thought I’d be up-front about it from the get-go.

About Me

Long Form

I live in the GAMA, in a too-large house with a housemate who is a chef (Yes, it’s a tough life, but someone has to live it. No, no, don’t thank me.). The housemate has a Siamese cat who basically rules the house, even though she disdains me and everything I own, except my electric blanket, which is hers, now. She magnanimously allows me to use it.

I’m in my 50s, which is subject to change, but probably not for a while.

I have not yet been published, but I hope that is subject to change at a moment’s notice. I have three blogs (this being the third) and am on Facebook and Twitter as well as LinkedIn, GoodReads, and a plethora of other social network sites. Which is probably why I don’t write as much as I should.

Let’s see . . . what else? Atlanta, cat, 50s, not published, social networks . . . that’s about it, really. You’ll find writing-related things on this blog, as opposed to DreamWidth or Blogger, where I basically rant.

Poke around. I hope you find something you like.

Short Form

By night, I put words together into sentences for fun and (a complete lack of) profit (for now). By day, I put words and symbols together into computer code for (low levels of) fun and (lucrative) profit. I’m a 10th-level black belt in the partial art of procrastination. Eventually, I’ll get around to cashing in on that. In spite of my status as a writer of speculative fiction, I do not currently own a cat. I am overly amused by terrible puns and have been known to commit them without any visible signs of remorse.

Flash Form

I create imaginary people and force them to have conversations in my head.

I also write.
