The Writer's Corner

Writing is a craft.  Life is an art.

Since I was a little boy, I've wanted a study, a place filled with books in which to think, write, and call my own.

​

From this, two things follow: 

• First, that I was a very strange little boy.

• Second, that I have been destined since boyhood for disappointment, as I am neither wealthy nor likely to become so.

​

But thanks to the marvels of the digital era, an online study can be acquired much more reasonably than its real-life counterpart.

​

Welcome to my very own virtual study!  Enjoy the stay.

Freelance writer, editor, and blogger.

I was raised on a cold and lonely hill, one of five children, and son to a woman made of iron.  

​

As a boy, I fell in love with stories.  Through them, I sailed the seven seas with Sinbad and sipped tea with Jack Lewis.  I felt the impossible burden of a life lived without hope, and I touched the heart of a star.

​

Now I'm passing on what I've learned and trying to contribute to the narrative legacy to which I owe so much.

"Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality.  It's a way of understanding it."
