I hate these types of things - Bios for writers. Writers (Artists of any type really) ought to be judged on their work rather than who they are in personall life. I can think of any number of writers who I don't think I would ever want to know in personal life whose work I really like (Heinlein, I am look straight at you) and a few that I dislike their writing who I wouldn't mind talking to in personal life. But I'll introduce myself anyway. I am a pretty normal person - I live in Kirkland, Washington with a cat (A cat who owns the apartment that I am allowed to live in until she can open her own cans of food). I write computer code during the day and more creative stuff during the night. It's either than or I watch way too much science fiction and horror off Netflix. My first collection of short stories ("Odds & Ends") is available on Lulu.com, Barnes and Noble and Amazon right now and I am working hard on a second collection of all new stuff. P.S. - If you want to have some fun with me, I am looking for people to work out with online using "Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012" on the XBox - my name is "ClaspingBug208"...
