My dad was a career Air Force officer, 20 years, so we moved around a lot. I grew up all over the country, meeting lots of different people. I think it gave me a sense of independence because my environment changed every few years and I had to be adaptable. I also got to see how everything is connected -- region, politics, economics, etc. Dad's a Vietnam vet, so history was always really relevant to me, I've always seen historical events as something that affects individual people. And I also just really love reading and learning -- I have a Master's in English lit. My whole family is like that, so it all feels really natural.(less)

January 2024 Update!

Welcome, New Year!

I often try to do a recap of the previous year and mull over thoughts on the new year, but I’m finding this year my impulse is to just let it all go. Don’t dwell. 2023 was strange. Not necessarily bad, for me, but definitely strange, chopped up into different phases marked by big projects and trips. For 2024, I want to slow down a bit. We’l

“I'm a werewolf trapped in a human body."
"Well, yeah, that's kind of the definition."
"No, really. I'm trapped."
"Oh? When was the last time you shape-shifted?"
"That's just it - I've never shape-shifted."
"So you're not really a werewolf."
"Not yet. But I was meant to be one, I just know it. How do I get a werewolf to attack me?"
Stand in the middle of a forest under a full moon with a raw steak tied to your face, holding a sign that says, 'Eat me; I'm stupid'?”
Carrie Vaughn, Kitty and the Midnight Hour
