When I'm not writing I tend to run pen and paper roleplaying games (been doing that for 33 years now) and help raise our family of one five year old, twin two year olds and a very patient cat.

This blog was setup to chat about gaming and share any poems and short stories that spring to mind. 

Feel free to chat with me on twitter @mylin1 and rummage about in my ramblings.";}}}
