Welcome
I’m a co-founder & acquiring editor at Thinking Ink Press, a small indie publisher based in the San Francisco Bay Area. You can pitch me queries when we’re open to submissions.
I’m a fiber artist: I love knitting, spinning yarn, sewing, and weaving… and there’s some risk I’ll dip into dyeing fiber and/or raising alpaca one of these years.
Until recently I was a QA Manager & tested software at a well known file sync & sharing company.
I write essays and stories; they aren’t published, you can’t see them. I write sci-fi and fantasy — I spill science and history into my fantasy, and fantasy into my sci-fi.
I love Star Trek and The Wheel of Time, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Northern Exposure. (I was a child of the 80s & 90s.)
I think fairies are wicked, and Santa Claus is the secret love child of a Fairy Godmother and a Father Frost. I wonder what the world would be like if apartment buildings had hot-swappable rooms like VMWare hosts have CPU and RAM.
I’m neurodivergent, queer, and Jewish, and it took me until my mid-30s to claim any of those as my identities.
Roman history is fascinating, as is Tudor England, and, just by the way, lords were often women in medieval France, far oftener than history books claim.
I meditate and study Jungian psychology, ancient myths, and spirituality.
I majored in Computer Science and History, because they’re so closely related; I travel and I knit; I love fermenting food; cats are better than dogs; and it turns out that editing books is a lot like testing software, and I’m good at both.
I hope you’ll stay and find something interesting to read.
