Current Slipped/Pinched disk in the spine - why I've been out for a week and on opiates and steroids for pain management. I still feel like someone's trying to run a pike through my back & down my arm.

Joys of working at a University - I may do 40 hours of 8 to 5, but then I get to come in on a Saturday on occasion - hey, at least I'm getting paid Overtime. :-)

Bio

Halito, Salve, and Howdy-do! I am a writer with elder influences, a gamer from the days when Dungeons and Dragons was "Advanced," and Star Wars only had three episodes (you wouldn't believe how the old fandom wondered where the hell the other three movies were, when the first one released read "Episode IV"). I have a penchant for prose, the occasional run-on sentence (some times I just have a lot to say), and bloody murder, mayhem, and mystery. I am, by far, not a romantic writer, I believe, as that my few glances at romance novels had me in fits of laughter, with a conclusion that there was indeed a reason why they were one-shot wonders; the genre isn't bad, and it is supposed to be formulaic rather than high literature - like Sudoku, it's an entertaining distraction for some, and there is not a thing wrong with that - it's just not my cup of tea.

So what do I enjoy writing - fantasy, adventure, things that just don't quite happen in the every day world and can take me away for a time from a trials of the day. I'm not really a fan-fic writer (to terrified to do so), but I would love to go play in the massive sandbox that is the Star Wars universe. And I have a thing for the H.B.O. show "Rome" (I have yet to watch "Spartacus"), and AMC's "Turn: Washington's Spies." In short, take history, use the underpinnings, but not get hung up on historical accuracy, and run with it.

Beyond that, I have a full time job, and projects under my belt, but it doesn't mean that I can't happily post at least once a day, if not more.
