A miscellany of random thoughts, geekery, reviews and other mysterious stuff careening around my addled brain.
When I set out to write Ace Grant, I wanted to create a wholly American mythology. It needed to reflect our history, not simply write another Western European transplant of faye courts and vikings.

Free, transparent systems are the future. Control is achieved through opacity. An open society will set us free. But you can be free now…
Yesterday, I climbed a mountain to get away from it all. 12,000 feet and a thousand miles away wasn’t quite far enough…
…civilizations can vanish if they aren’t able to, or refuse to, react to change. Here’s hoping we realize the stakes.
