About Me

I write things...

My Interests

Television:

Smallville, Boomtown, Home Movies, My So-Called Life, X-Files, Star Trek, Lois & Clark, Justice League, Heroes, Futurama, and lots of other nerd stuff!

Books:

Brad Meltzer is the man. Love Kevin J. Anderson! Rebecca Moesta's BUFFY book was fabulous. Mark Waid, Mark Verheiden, Orson Scott Card and Joe Kelly are all pure genius. Read all of their stuff. "Poisonwood Bible," "The Adventures of Kavalier and Clay," "The Book Thief," lots and lots of other (I own over 500 books -- makes moving lousy...) And, let's be honest, I like the books I've written, too. Is that okay? ;-)
