Stargazer, daydreamer, observer, writer of stuff. Mostly science fiction and sometimes mystery, suspense, thriller stuff. Short stories published here and there, also lots of articles. Moderate a group or two, teach writing now and then, edit a magazine, work on novel no. 3, sleep rarely, laugh often. Only slightly mad.

Background

I always loved to read and did so from an early age. I thought the people who could do this writing thing were magical. Then, when I was thirteen, a friend of mine showed me a story she'd written. I read the entire story and was captivated. It was good, but more than that, it had been written by someone I knew. I realized at that moment that I could be a writer. I've been one ever since.
I started out reading westerns. Every Zane Grey and Louis L'Amour I could find. Then I moved to Science Fiction and Fantasy, Tanith Lee, Phillip K. Dick, Greg Bear, James Tiptree Jr., I could list them all day. I also began reading thrillers, Lisa Gardner, John Sandford. Books are my greatest influence. I love that you can pick them up and put them down, think about them, return to them. Sometimes they change, or you change. Their authors may not still seem like magic to me, but the books themselves certainly are.
