Hi! I'm Adrian. I'm a therapist by trade, and am focused on evidence based practice and practical methods. I'm working on improving my writing. The two books I've finished still need refinement.

I've got a thing for weird facts and mythology, as well as swords. Expect to see pointy things.

Why I'm working on taming The Beast currently despite waiting to see if I get into a few more writer's workshop. Time passes regardless, so I may as well spend the time practicing.
