About me:
I'm a freelance copyeditor and proofreader and sometimes aspiring author. I'm currently a freelance copyeditor/proofreader with Baen Books and Warner Books. I've been a legal editor with James Publishing, a copyeditor with the Internet Review of Science Fiction, an editor for Flash Me Magazine, a member of the editorial team at Virtual Tales and a Bastinado.

I've completed a few years of ASL study and help interpret services and events for my deaf friend from church. I've been married to my best friend since 1994. We have two cats, and we're in the process of adopting older children. I am an adoptee myself, adopted at birth in Okinawa, Japan.

Hello...
This is a weird thanks ..but..I was at the library the other day and picked up the Wood Wife cuz I remembered seeing it on your myspace.
So, even though you technically didn't recommend it, you did...and I wanted to say thank you for a good read. :)

Hey, JR. Yeah, I'm on here every now and then. i really need to add some pics.
Brian





Dec 5 2006 4:00 PM

Nah, I'm not writing like I'd like to. I throw down a piece of short fiction here and there, mostly humor. It ends up on my myspace or my site. But I don't feel like I've really given anything the effort of putting out a real *story* in a while. It'll come back, I still feel the pull, but I write a lot for work/school right now, which takes the writing energy out of me.

Anyway, glad to see you around. Keep in touch!
Brian
