There are three kinds of people in the world: Those who have dreams and aren't afraid to follow them, those who have dreams and are afraid to follow them, and critics. Always strive to be in the first group, help the second, and ignore the third.
Background
Information
So, you want to know more about me?
Well, alright. =)
I am thirty-seven, happily married for thirteen years, no children, and live in a small college town in Southeastern New Mexico famous only for the production of Valencia peanuts. I am self-educated with a smattering of military and college experience of no real consequence or importance, I've never been arrested nor comitted any crime more serious than a parking violation. I don't do drugs nor do I drink, but I do smoke. I have self-published my own paper & pencil roleplaying-game system, which is currently out-of-print. I write novels, compose and perform music for my novels in MIDI and Mp3 format, but otherwise live the life of a hermit. My major influences are Heinlien, Asimov, L. Sprague DeCamp, Fletcher Pratt, Tolkien. That is probably all I want the public to ever know about me, as my life is really so incredibly dull that knowing more about me actually detracts from the reading enjoyment of my work.
