Hey Folks,
I'm a computer programmer who lives in Martinsburg, West Virginia and has to commute to civilization every day to make a living. My passions are my family and comic books. My writing is a way of introspection for me. Getting it out in written form seems to be the way I deal with things. I'm prepared to tell you things about myself in my writing that I would never ever say to your face.
My style of writing can best be summed up like this: "The perspective of a father told in the voice of a comic book collector". It's sometimes funny, mostly sappy, and sometimes (when I talk directly about comics) very preachy. But all I want to do is entertain.
If you're new, you might want to look at the Quick Fixes. They're quick, and they'll give you a taste of my style. For more complete works, look at my Short Stories. For preachy essays that most people don't like, take a look at Essays, Theories, and Other Stuff. For more about me, go read My Biography. For a full selection of my work, just go check out the Table of Contents. For naked pictures of my office mate, email me directly. (I just want to see if she reads this thing.)
I hope you enjoy.
