As I like to say when introducing myself at panels, I write short fiction that people publish, and novels that they don't.
To get to where I am today, I've had the help of a lot of teachers. I started by taking a writing class at Grub Street, then went through three Writer's Respites at WisCon and Ann Crispin's workshop at Shore Leave, completed the Viable Paradise science fiction workshop in 2002, and the Strange Horizons workshop in 2003.
I also volunteer in the field. I'm a member of the Broad Universe advisory board and maintain several SFWA web pages. In 2007, I was one of the workshop pros at WisCon, and it looks like I might just be doing it again this year. In the not-so-distant past, I also worked on the program books for United Fan Con and Noreascon 4, spent two years as support staff for Viable Paradise, and was a Speculative Literature Foundation online mentor in their pilot program.
My other creative outlet is radio theater. I'm one of the voices in The Fantastic Fate of Frederick Farnsworth the Fifth, a comedy available from Wyrd Enterprises, have performed with the Post-Meridian Radio Players, and will soon be recording with Silicon Theatre. I also take belly dance lessons, but I'm still very much a student, so it's not quite the creative outlet that I'd like it to be yet.
If you'd like to meet me, I'll be attending Arisia, Boskone, WisCon, Readercon, and the The New England Fan Experience this year. If you are interested in quality, fan-run science fiction conventions, I urge you to check all of the above out.
Oh, and I have a spouse and three cats, and as is probably obvious from my writing, I live in the Boston area.
