I am a fantasy geek and author with a web development day-job.

I like the weird that is assumed to be normal within the story. I like character driven stories that integrate into the magic of the setting seamlessly. I tend to enjoy high magic realms, though mixing with technology is good too. On the flip side of fantasy, I am a sucker for a well written noir detective story. 

An American abroad, I live in Freiburg, Germany with my wife.

My first self-published novella was published on Kindle in March: 
http://www.amazon.com/Queen-Cloud-Pirates-Crossing-Dropline-ebook/dp/B00IWBC2X2

The second in the series and a slew of standalone stories are in the works as well.
