Journalist, novelist, connoisseur of failure. Pacific Northwest native, San Francisco resident, New Mexico in my soul and Tahiti on my mind. You can't hurt me, I grew up watching the Seattle Mariners.
I write in the woods. Okay, I also have sheep, bunnies, chickens, and very excellent helper dogs. And I spin wool. Um, and play tournament scrabble.
Scrabbler, father, grandfather, reader, moviegoer, friend.
