| Introduction | I was once asked how I get ideas for stories. My answer was that I experience life. I learn a lot that way. Right now I'm learning how to revise an old manuscript without losing my mind. I like good coffee, made by real people. I love tea. I knit. I'm a newly-graduated 5.11 climber and I'm practicing lead. I ride a longboard. I have four brothers and three cats and I'm married to a man made of win and awesome. |
