Fiction writer

I have sold some Speculative Fiction stories. (I mean other than anything you might have seen printed for assorted high-tech companies.) You will have trouble finding them. (A prediction, not a hypnotic command.)

"James James Morrison's Mother" appeared in the February 1997 issue of Tomorrow Speculative Fiction magazine, the last hardcopy issue. They also purchased a poem for their online edition (now defunct).

Master Composter

I am a Master Composter with the Home Composting Education Program in the County of Santa Clara. I teach composting workshops on spare weekends and evenings.

Dog trainer

Remington the Squirrelhünd, Jake the Semidachshund, Tika the Craussie, or Boost the Border Collie might argue with who's really training whom.
