: About Me

I'm a freelance archaeologist who travels the country doing cultural resources management work. I hold Bachelor's degrees in anthropology and French, and lived in Paris for a year while in college (that picture in my profile is from my trip to Parc Asterix).

My favorite authors are Mark Twain and Ray Bradbury. I love science fiction, especially old, cheesy sci-fi films.

Oh, and check out my webcomic, "The League of Mad Scientists," at LeagueofMadScientists.com

My passion is ...

Writing. I know, it's such a shock.

I know too much about ...

Ben Franklin, Nikola Tesla, and mixing cocktails. Don't ask.

My parents always told me ...

Writing is rewriting. Well, that was Mom. Dad told me to choke up. On the bat. In baseball.

My childhood ambition ...

To be an astronaut. I'm still waiting for you to call back, NASA.

My favorite memory ...

Can't remember.

Why I write ...

Because everytime I stop, I go more insane than usual.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

"Reading the Past" by Ian Hodder

My first job ...

Acting. My first "real" job, however, was hostess at a crummy restaurant.

My best moment ...

I consider all of my moments equally great.

My inspiration ...

Um . . . my brain?

Drinking the Stars Bubbles born from oblivion, Straight up to the top they rise And skip across the surface gloss To vanish before our eyes.
