By day I am a freelance hack. I was the creator and writer of DIARY OF A GENRE ADDICT. Other writing gigs have included FEMFORCE for AC Comics as well as Lost in the Multiplex, Subba Cultcha, Alt Fashion magazine, Ethereal Tales, Crime Time, Your Geekness, the original incarnation of Starstoreblog.com and many, many more. Former Musician and DJ, avid comic geek, new media fan and Asimov obsessive, I'm easy to spot- just look for the shaved head and the tattered paperback. View My LinkedIn Profile |
