Bio
I fell in love with speculative fiction and poetry many years ago, but I have precious little time to write any. I hope to share the worlds I've built and the songs of my heart with all of you here and that you enjoy them as much as I do.

One of these longer answers, the response to an ask-to-answer query, inspired the birth of this series all these years later. You can read the original, a guide to adverb usage, here:
