Bio
I'm a reader, one with no illusions of ever being a writer though it is something I know. You see, reading is the thing which has nurtured and sustained me through thick and thin, good times and bad. It has enlightened me about life, the world, even about myself, helped me answer questions and more importantly taught me which ones to ask. To that end I continue seeking out great writing and the writers who make it great so that perhaps, in some small way, I can give back to that and those which have given so much to me.
