Introduction

I live in Plymouth MN. Publication credits and samples of my writing appear on my website and in the Files section. I work from home so that I can be convenient when my wife needs someone to work in the garden or make her tea or something.

What sort of stories do you write? And if you have anything published, tell us about it (even if it's not SF.) We love to hear about all your successes.

I lean toward the light-hearted in SF & fantasy; I write because I think of all these cool things that I want to share. In the past I've done mostly short fiction, very little of which has been submitted anywhere.

What brings you to the SF Writers Meetup? Is there anything that you hope the group will do for you?

Get out of the house. Meet other writers in hopes of finding the nucleus of a writing group. Discuss craft. Entertainment.

    Authors doing their own artwork?

    "If you would come to the meetings, we could pressure you to produce, if that would be any help in motivating you."

    Alternatives to MS Word

    August 13, District 9 movie

    "I would add: It's extremely, graphically violent (and kinda gross). There's lots and lots of shaky-cam. The storyline is depressingly full of human closemindedness, selfishness, and evil. But the mini-mech is really cool!..."
