In short

  • I'm wot ye'd call an amatuer writer. I just sort o dabble. I have all these wonderful story ideas but I can never seem to finish 'em or get them down on paper as I see them in my head. Hopefully joining this site will help me out there : )

  • I don't really have one yet...but I'm working on it ; )

My Favorites: Reading and Writing

  • Fiction: Historical Fiction, Humor/Satire, Literary, Mystery, Sci Fi/Fantasy, Teen

    Non-Fiction: History, Home & Garden, Humor, Outdoors & Nature, Pets, Science, Sex & Relationships

  • Stranger in a Strange Land by Heinlein, hands down the best example o Modern Science Fiction around. Heinlein lead the way in re-defining the genre and I've read just about all of his books.
  • I'm always reading Sci-Fi short story anthologies. Nebula Award winners, Hugo Award Winners, and Collections o the best SF over the last however many years...I always have one in my car or bookbag for when I have a few moments to read.
  • I like to read...just about anywhere really. I supposed my favorite place would be on a hill overlooking the ocean as I lay in a hammock, gently swaying in the salty, sea breeze. That would be really cool.
  • The only complete things I have are poems. I guess I have a sort o knack for those.
  • Fiction: Children's, Humor/Satire, Romance, Sci Fi/Fantasy

    Non-Fiction: Humor

  • Dr. Zebadiah Carter from Heinlein's "The Number of the Beast." Not only is he very smart, dashing, and married to an incredible woman, but he gets to travel the dimensions, those created by Time, those by Physics, and those by Ficta. And if you know what Ficta is then we should talk ; )
