About Me
I've written all my life but attempted to publish very little. Reams of paper balled up and discarded have given way to gigabytes of data extinguished with the press of a key. (The attempt to ball up and discard that laptop is unrelated. Sort of.)
Type of Writer
Every work is autobiographical to some degree. I believe that's true for every author. Nothing's too sacred to put on paper.
Writing Style
Ecclectic. I use Oxford commas, I split infinitives, and I have no problem ending a sentence with a preposition. Ask me why.
Interests
"Interests" being the operative word (as opposed to "Skills"): Music, photography, gardening, gaming and, I suppose, writing. My day job is where my "skills" lie, and therein are no "interests."

Favorite Genres
I famously (at least among my kin) don't have a favorite anything, but in writing I tend to gravitate towards fiction.
Favorite Books
Usually, the next book on my list. Occasionally, the very book I'm reading. Certainly, the book I'll pick up and again.
Favorite Authors
I could contemplate this for hours and the only difference in my reply would be, "I've contemplated this for hours." There are so many great authors, how is one to choose any over the others?
Favorite Poets
I try to explore poetry, but get bogged down in the effort. I struggle to enjoy poetry. It's actually one of the things I'm self-conscious about - as if appreciating poetry is a key component to being a good writer.
Favorite Quote
I'm sure it's something I've said or written, but I don't remember it.
Favorite Music
Depends on my mood. Ranges from classical to blues to classic rock to grunge and much of what's in between.
Favorite Movies
In no particular order or preference: The Godfather (I and II), Casablanca, Life is Beautiful, Amélie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Good Will Hunting, It's a Wonderful Life, and I will soon exceed the 250 character limit.
Favorite Shows
Growing up in the 70s and 80s, M*A*S*H has to be at the top of the list. All in the Family was another one. Cheers, Seinfeld. The Simpsons. X-files. Big Bang Theory. Supernatural with my family. HBO's Sopranos and Game of Thrones. And I've run out of
