Greetings.
Welcome! You are now browsing a Digital Garden. This is my personal space for learning in public. I am a lifelong learner so everything is a Work-In-Progress like me, but I do not let perfectionism get in the way. That means that what you read here is not authoritative or complete, and is not representative of my best work.
However, it is representative of my interests and current state of knowledge, and if you have the same interests, then this space is also yours to use as a reference. Feedback and social sharing is welcome - that is the whole point of being public!
In my spare time I write short stories: standalone tales of 1,000–3,000 words, in genres including science fiction, horror and supernatural. My first collection, se7en is available for download in all the popular ebook formats.
