About Me

I'm a computer programmer by trade. Other interests include reading, cooking, and playing with my dog. I try to do some writing in my spare time. In the past year or two, I've written a short novel, The Gentleman Bookseller, that I plan on revising yet again soon and I'm working on a mammoth weird western saga, The Hangman's Book, in 30,000 word increments. Oh, and I've been kicking around the same ideas for a time travel story for about five years now.

I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
