Here's the Quick & Dirty Version</strong><br><br>I'm an award-winning author who turns wickedly strong tea into imaginative fiction.

It's a book nerd's paradise over there so be sure to give it a listen wherever you listen to podcasts.<br><br>When I'm not creating worlds or tormenting my characters, I conjure homemade wine and beer, plod around in the garden, and travel near and far (or dream about doing so for the time being).
