If you’ve clicked through this far, I assume you want to know a bit more about me.  Suit yourself.

I’m a native West Virginian, born and raised around Charleston.  I spent seven years in Morgantown at West Virginia University, where I got degrees in History and Law.  Seven years in Morgantown is just about enough for anybody, let me tell you. I’ve practiced law since 1999, mostly as a public defender, mostly doing appeals and post-conviction work in federal court. It can be a slog sometimes, but it can also be very rewarding.

What the law gig doesn’t allow is for flights of factual fancy – if it’s in the record, you’re stuck with it! So part of why I started writing was to have some fun with worlds I controlled and characters I brought to life.  They’re fun to write, I hope you’ll enjoy reading them.

I live near Charleston now, along with my wife, K, and two of the cutest Chihuahuas you’ve ever seen.
