BIO
A long-time academic (professor and librarian) in the humanities and social sciences, I have served (and would have happily dismantled certain aspects of) eight different universities, private and public..
Writing: I have taught professional and academic writing to undergraduate, Master's, and doctoral students. I've also taught (1) the thinking and writing of literary criticism in the context of SFF courses at several universities and (2) how to write all types of academic article abstracts.
- Dante’s Wardrobe (this longtime art/literary blog)
- Fictional Correspondences
- What: 125 fictional letters (from 125 different characters) delivered in the character of a postal carrier whose transportation
was a flying equine.
Included the creation of stationery, handwriting/fonts, odd envelopes and postage for all said letters in addition to a singular, fantastical gift package for each attendee (19 children, ages 8-14). - When: Part of a one-day LARP "wizarding event
Current fiction works in progress
- A character-driven, ensemble cast, modern academic literary
