| Occupation | Working writer |
| Location | Atlanta, GA, Afghanistan |
| Introduction | I've been involved in gaming literally my entire life- from roleplaying in the early 80s through the Euro boom of 1995-2002, on through to the Ameritrash Renaissance. I'm married to Leigh Ann and I have two small dogs named Pixie and Posie that will bite your face off. |
| Interests | Board games, music, films, my family, pissing off internet-addicted board gamers |
| Favorite movies | Hammer horror, Dario Argento pictures, Mario Bava, Val Lewton/Jacques Tourneur, Lord of the Rings, Blade Runner, Fight Club, Tarkovsky stuff (Solaris in particular), Kubrick, Star Wars, nerd movies, gothic horror stuff...I'll watch any horror/science fiction/fantasy picture- within reason. |
| Favorite music | Right now I pretty much just listen to black metal. Dunno why, but I'm obsessed with it. But I also like punk rock, postpunk, death rock, heavy metal, old time country, early 80s electro, old school hip hop, David Bowie, Prince...and of course, THE FALL. |
| Favorite books | Dracula, Lord of the Rings, Brave New World, Nietzsche, His Dark Materials, music biographies, Lovecraft, Poe...Alan Moore is my favorite writer of any sort of book. Check out Voice of the Fire. |
