I live in a New York apartment overlooking one of the rivers. I love the history of this city, and its nonstop energy. Telling a story about it in both a contemporary fantasy and historical fiction setting would be intriguing, and a combination of my two greatest passions--history and writing. I had two stories published in Ace anthologiest about 10 or so years ago, but stopped writing professionally shortly thereafter. I want to return to that enterprise.
