Not dead. Just on hiatus. Still here occasionally.
This is the journal of a writer, a musician, a dancer, a fencer, a hand spinner, a leather worker, a gardener, a pagan, and a dabbler in science and magic. I am a fan of all things genre, including but not limited to, speculative fiction, steampunk, scifi, urban fantasy, gothic horror, and all things outre.
My influences include, but are not limited to, Harlan Ellison, Clive Barker, Neil Gaiman, Tim Powers, Roald Dahl, Robert Bloch, Ray Bradbury, Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Isaac Asimov, and Frank Herbert.
My iPod enjoys David Bowie, Afro Celt Sound System, Talking Heads, Derek Trucks Band, Dave Matthews Band, Gaelic Storm, Belá Fleck and the Flecktones, Nina Simone, Loreena MacKennitt, Pink Floyd, Van Morrison, John Lee Hooker, The Clancy Brothers, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Sting, Robert Johnson, Jonny Lang and The Shins. Blues, jazz, world beat, progressive rock, alternative, and celtic.
