Introduction	I'm a reader, gamer, and writer of all things speculative. I was born and raised in the South Bronx, educated at a private college in northern Vermont, and work for a well-known legal and financial publisher in lower Manhattan. Currently I'm writing sci-fi short fiction on the side, with a paltry few paid publications under my belt. The idea for a far-future space opera novel is being tossed about in the back of my head as well. I'm excited by the possibilities!
