I write stories, make videos, and do interviews with the goal of entertaining and making you feel good.
Sometimes, my work aims to make you laugh.
Always, my work hopes to help you believe there's good in the world, and it's worth fighting for.
“Nothing makes time pass or shortens the way like a thought that absorbs in itself all the faculties of the one who is thinking. External existence is then like a sleep of which this thought is the dream. Under its influence, time has no more measure, space has no more distance.”
Alexandre Dumas, The Three Musketeers
I have been writing all of my life.
I began writing my first novel while still in fifth grade—a science fiction story featuring an alien race inspired by my neighbor’s basset hounds. While that work remains incomplete, I have worked on various blogs and stories over the years. I hope to continue to make up (mostly) Science fiction and Fantasy stories and put them on paper for an ever wider audience.

“Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.”
Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind
I’ve also started making videos.
The interviews in particular have been a lot of fun. I call that interview show Person Behind the Pages. It’s sort of like a late night TV interview or an episode of Hot Ones but without the spicy wings. I talk to authors and other creators and try to get to know a bit more about them as a person. It’s a blast! Very fun to tease out some of the most fun stories from my guests. :)
I also really love making videos myself. It’s a lot of fun to have this new-to-me medium where I can share my thoughts and ideas much more rapidly than is possible with writing.
“It's up to the artist to use language that can be understood, not hide it in some private code. Most of these jokers don't even want to use language you and I know or can learn . . . they would rather sneer at us and be smug, because we 'fail' to see what they are driving at. If indeed they are driving at anything--obscurity is usually the refuge of incompetence.”
Robert A. Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land
