edit data

I am a native of the San Francisco Bay Area. I was born and raised in this region, unlike most other citizens of the Bay Area who are from another state or another country. I am a veteran of the punk/metal/new wave/oh-my-God-what-did-we-do-last-night club scenes of the San Francisco Bay Area in the Eighties and the early Nineties. I run marathons, I write novels, I meow back at cats and say hi to strange dogs that I meet. I am also a web applications engineer and a dedicated worker bee for the Oakland Athletics.

Our hero Skye reconnects with an old flame, a man whose reputation permeates so many realms in the Bay Area punk and alt communities, a man who inspires strong emotions in a community of artists, musicians, and scenesters. And those emotions are not always so nobl
