About meMy love of reading started early. I even worked at my childhood library reading shelves, amongst other things, and also worked at my university library second year. I strayed into business after that but have returned to what I love most.

Now I'm a writer cum stay-at-home dad (at least after 2:30 p.m. on weekdays-- pretty much full-time dad over summer vacation). Short works published in Nocturnal Ooze Magazine and 69 Flavors of Paranoia. Tweaking a contemporary dark fantasy novel and shopping to agents and major publishers.

Genetic genealogy: member of haplogroup R1b (sometimes called the Celt gene -- although it existed before the Celts. Go figure.) -- out of Mother Africa 50,000 years (Probably Kenya). A generation removed from the UK after about 10,000 genetic years there. Cool.

About my libraryI'm eclectic in my taste for books. I'll read almost any genre.
