Retired, with plenty of time on my hands and a healthy dose of grumpiness. The collection leans into sarcasm, cynicism, and a twisted take on the world. I'm inspired by the likes of Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, and Douglas Adams. I'd love to keep in touch via my newly created mailing list. Several curious people, really, it's just one, asked me how or where the ideas came from. Thankfully, there's no clear answer. When the trousers, mind, or weather conditions suit such things, the computer opens, a page appears, and it starts to flow. Wondrously weird, odd, and strange things abound.
