My experiences have given me many stories I can tell over a beer, but I find fiction is a medium where you can explore personal and universal truth. In fact, truth is really all I care about even if people just believe what they want to believe.

I'm a big proponent of realistic portrayals of characters in fiction. That means diversity in race and genders (there are more than two genders on the spectrum, that's why it's a spectrum). I'm a little hobbled in my learning curve about diversity as a white heterosexual male, but I feel very strongly that the world is large, wondrous, complex place that should be represented as such. 

I live in Sacramento, California after having resided up and down the west coast of the U.S. Both the San Francisco Bay Area and rural Oregon are close to my heart.

Feel free to drop a line!

"Part of the problem with the word disabilities is that it immediately suggests an inability to see or hear or walk or do other things that many of us take for granted. But what of people who can't feel? Or talk about their feelings? Or manage their feelings in constructive ways? What of people who aren't able to form close and strong relationships? And people who cannot find fulfillment in their lives, or those who have lost hope, who live in disappointment and bitterness and find in life no joy, no love? These, it seems to me, are the real disabilities." -- Fred "Mister" Rogers
