| Introduction | I am a twenty-three year old writer, student, and musician from the south suburbs of Chicago. I am studying to be a history professor, while playing in my folk band New Test Leopard and indie rock band Kiote. I am a minor political activist and a science fiction geek, and like to write reviews about books and other media. I am also currently working on my first science fiction novel, under the working title 'The River Runs Backwards.'
If you are a self-published sci-fi writer and interested in having me review your stuff please drop me an e-mail at progressmakesperfect (at) gmail.com. |
