The first time I wrote what I considered to be a “real” story, I was in the third grade. We were assigned to write a story about a spaceship.
That spaceship got swallowed up by a black hole, killing everyone aboard. I was very proud of that story. (I was an odd child.)
It’s all been downhill from there.
I was born in California in 1974, wrote my first poem in 1981, and have more or less been compulsively writing ever since. I did manage to pay enough attention to graduate from the University of Iowa with a degree in linguistics; when I moved to Seattle in 1996, I managed to parlay my degree and a modicum of HTML knowledge into what, surprisingly, has turned out to be an actual career in high tech.
All along, I’ve been writing. About five years ago, I started writing with my good friend Storm Wilder, and began to transistion to longer works.
I am a member of the Clarion West class of 2009. I am slowly collecting publishing credits: see my writing page for more.
I also have a small photography business called Nareshe Photography, an office supply fetish, and despite my best intentions I’ve turned into a runner. I also make books and do art journaling.
Outside of that, I reside south of Seattle with my two partners, our three cats, and two dogs.
