I live in the Pittsburgh area, enduring the seemingly endless winters, and the sometimes brutally hot summers. If I'm not writing...which is almost never, I love hiking and movies. I am also a board game designer. My new game, Dodge Dice, is available from Gamewright Games. Best Place to Read and Write: The Park Favorite Movie: Avatar (When I saw that movie the first time, it lit something inside me and I came home and started seriously writing for the first time.)
