I am a big fan of Robert Jordan, George RR Martin, and R. Scott Bakker. I also enjoy Ellery Queen mysteries and books about Arctic survival. I'm an avid cross-country skier, mountain biker, poet, cook, and I know three chords on the guitar. Active projects include A Drunkard's Journey (Dead Spaces is coming out this summer!), an attempt at a 1930's mystery, a Christian-based piece of historical fiction, and a smattering of short stories.
