| My training and education isn't in writing. It's in the visual arts. Specifically, art history and oil painting. (And Math. But I'm trying to dial-down the dork factor so let's gloss over that for now.) I still doodle and draw a little bit.
You can see a couple of those things here . It's mostly drawings of hot naked men. Why? Because naked men is always a good idea. |

I love the drinks and the eats. I'll be expanding the drinks and eats pages. But there's a couple of recipes to get you started.
I used to edit an online book review magazine. The Blue Iris Journal. We do reviews of all kinds of books, but love to give attention to smaller and independently published works of all genres.
If you want to check out some of my reviews, here they are. I've done these:
Matt St. Amand's As My Sparks Fly Upward
Maryanne Stahl's The Opposite Shore
Biff Mitchell's The War Bug
Tom Saunders's Brother, What Strange Place Is This?
