For my living, I write for other people's voices. Here, I write for myself. What's most interesting to me about writing is finding the things that drive characters to make choices. My very favorite thing, is when they cross a frontier they never have before.
Interests
Away from my keyboard, I love to run and ride my bike or do anything that requires work, a bit of pain and involves being outside. Understanding relationships, watching my kids grow and hanging out with my wife are all high on my priority list. Oh, yeah, sex is really big, too" src="/images/emoticons/smile_regular.gif">
