About meI'm done some writing and a little game design. I work for a major metropolitan school district, and am a father.

Besides reading, my strongest interests are in historical swordfighting (and Renaissance European culture...I play in the Society for Creative Anachronism), theology (especially apologetics), gaming (especially role-playing games), and pool. I enjoy early American pulp horror and fantasy literature, like HP Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard, as well.

About my libraryMost people who have seen my book collection comment about its scale and eclectic nature: it goes through history, literary criticism, to pulp literature to beat poetry, My old, beat-up Bible sits nicely next to my copy of Naked Lunch.

I'm most proud of the vintage gaming collection (which I may make a different catalog, now that I think about it).

I'm also adding many reprints of historical swordfighting texts, and commentaries on historical swordfighting.
