With a bachelor's degree in anthropology and a minor in history, I'd have to say that my biggest influences have absolutely nothing to do with that. Marion Zimmer Bradley was an early long-distance... helper, for lack of a better term. However, when I discovered the work of Terry Pratchett it was like a door unlocked in my head and there was no going back. I began to dig for stories that had information in them, until one day I hit my peek and to this day would rather curl up with a well-researched book of facts than not. My own personal work, however, does not reflect that at all.

I hate listing my achievements because I never can remember them. I know they're out there, but I don't care. I also don't want to look them up.
