First, and most importantly, this page was the work of the utterly spectacular M.K. Hobson, whose site you’ll see in my links.  If you like the design here, drop her a note over there and let her know.  While you’re there take a look around her site too, because both it and her books are dead cool.

If you’ve found this page – and I must assume you have or you wouldn’t be reading it – I should start out by saying ‘Welcome, I hope you’ll stay. Or at least come back to call regularly.’  What you’ll find here is me talking about my writing, about things that I stumble on that interest me, and about minutiae that may or may not be interesting to anyone but me… and I’m interested in just about everything on one level or another.

I think all writers must have a certain fascination with blank pages.  Most writers tend to have a blank page at least within a couple of seconds’ reach.  If they don’t have one, they make them up out of other things.  Napkins.  Receipts.  Envelopes.  Paper towels are wonderful things (Air dryers are an invention of pure frustration.  They’re clean, eco-friendly… and only good for drying stuff.).

There’s something about a blank page that teases.  It invites us to fill those two dimensions until we stretch them out into something more.  A picture, a word, a story… there’s no limit of possibility in a blank page except those on our own eyes, our hearts, our imaginations.  It’s a place we can fly as far as we can, as fast or as slowly as we wish.  I’m looking forward to filling up a lot of pages here.

Objects in the mirror may be stranger than they appear.  Welcome to the ride.
