Hello from Indianapolis, Indiana, the blank slate of America! I come in peace. I come to write, read and critique. I come as a serious writer mainly of speculative fiction and science fiction and fantasy. That's what I am by night; by day I teach art to elementary school kids. I'm passionate about art (flickr.com/photos/steveloy)(myartbox.org), about my goddess wife Amy, our two hijos, and Archie, the cat. Say "Hey!" I'll say hey back.
