But wait, you want more? Here are some fun facts:

I'm from all over the place, but I call Baltimore my home. It doesn't seem to mind.

I've been to forty-eight states, played music in about twenty, and lived in five and Canada.

I've been writing stories since we got our first computer when I was six or seven. I think it may have been the first computer in Texas. The internet didn't exist yet, so life was much less distracting. Six year old me got a lot of writing done.

I started my first band when I was thirteen, which, not coincidentally, is when my cousin Phyllis gave me my first guitar. The band was called Hellbound Train, and had one song, called Hellbound Train. We won't speak of that again.

My first album, Charmed, was produced by SONiA of disappear fear and released on disappear records in 2000. I followed that up with Wingspan in 2003. My rock band, the Stalking Horses, put out an album called This is Your Signal in 2007, on a lovely indie label called The Beechfields. I've toured with and without the band from Seattle to Boston, and have the van repair bills to prove it. I used to have the most awesome van ever, with a bed and curtains and a haunted radio and a dashboard lizard. Somebody stole it, and returned it without the lizard or a working front axle. I miss my van.

I've also been writing a ton of stories and novels, many of which are in various stages of publication. See the Fiction page for more about that.
