Originally from New York, I've settled for the moment in Pittsburgh. I graduated from Carnegie Mellon School of Computer Science in 2002, failed to escape from the university, and became Staff -- specifically a technical writer and webmaster for the RADAR Project.

I'd been writing since I was a teenager, but it wasn't until junior year in college I realized I wanted to do it professionally -- I somehow managed to squeeze a Creative Writing degree into those last few semesters.

I write across fantasy, science fiction, and horror -- my favorite is stuff that's hard to define as one or the other. Fantasy seems to work best, though, and Memories of Empire is my first novel.

In my spare time I watch anime, play games of all varieties, and read a lot. What else is there?
