I was born in 1971 in Milwaukee Wisconsin. I know many of you are saying "Where?"
I lived there for much of my life but the world was calling to me and I began to travel around the age of 18.
First I left the state to live in several other states including Arizona, Florida, California and Virginia.
But that wasn't enough. I needed to go farther.
In 2004 I decided it was time to fulfill a childhood dream so I moved to Europe and have been here ever since.
I originally lived in Prague, Czech Republic (probably saying "Where?" again aren't you) but have since moved to a smaller town south of there to focus more on writing. It's called Ceske Budejovice, they make the original Budweiss beer here.

I have completed two novels now, neither is published yet. I have over a dozen short stories ranging from science fiction to 'slice of life' and fantasy. I have been writing for years and only now am beginning to attempt to share them with strangers. I hope you enjoy them because that's the goal.

The content I plan to put on Xomba will be brand new material I write as I go. Perhaps I will post some of the previous stories from the Livejournal that I dubbed "Neural Masses" because they all started with suggestions from the readers on things to include in each story and progressed from there. It was an interesting experiment because I never knew what the story was going to be about until I saw the suggestions. I think I would like to continue that type of story here also.

Thank you for your time. If there are any questions please feel free to contact me.

I've heard of Ceske Budejovice,

for its beer history. Czech Republic sounds like a great place to be. I've like to live in Europe, too, someday. Sounds like it's real hard for Americans to get jobs, though.

Thanks for the bio/introduction.
