I am a creature of many influences, as you can see. I confess, I love more than anything to read my own writing. |
I write about what I think about, but the relationship between my writing and my life is not always obvious and never direct. |
Storytelling of all kinds: literature, music, film, scribbling, gaming, acting, tabletop roleplaying, history, monologue, and dialogue. Also cooking, economics, philosophy, cricket, yoga, tai chi, driving, walking, and thinking. |

DION: Why am I afraid to dance, I who love music and rhythm and grace and song and laughter? Why am I afraid to live, I who love life and the beauty of flesh and the living colors of earth and sky and sea? Why am I afraid of love, I who love love? |
