I've lived in Vancouver Washington for most of my life, and have been interested in writing since I was in High School, I've been blogging on the internet since 2011, writing first for Yahoo Voices, and then Newsvine. I currently have articles on Newsvine under the same name (real name). I work at the Washington State University in Vancouver. I enjoy reading, Kayaking and games. I used to play a lot of computer and console games, but all my pals got addicted to smart-phones, so now I just play a table-top, role-playing game called Pathfinder (Dungeons & Dragons rip-off). I'm interested in writing in several genres, but have a particular love of fantasy.
