Self-employed as a writer/publisher, I hold degrees in History and Library Science which I put to work on cocktail history and taxonomy in The Art of the Shim and on the Bibulo.us blog. My first book, Discardia: More Life, Less Stuff, explored letting go of what doesn’t make life awesome. My current works in progress range in topic from a new universe for fantasy role-playing games to household servants in Elizabethan England. My partner Joe and I live in Northern California.
