Welcome to my outpost on the Web! I write SF, fantasy, and horror for fun and, hopefully, profit! Other interests include music, nature, science, humor, food, bib overalls, and pie throwing (both metaphorically AND literally). Stick around!

A Random Wednesday Conversation Starter
An early episode of South Park established that if Cartman hears the tiniest snippet of “Come Sail Away” by Styx, he has to sing the entire song. I suspect we all have a song that we just have to finish … Continue reading
