I do a lot of stuff. So what, exactly, would I say about me that would be useful to you? Heck if I know — that depends on who you. Below you’ll find the professional me in a nutshell. Okay, not exactly a nutshell, but a brief bio that a literary agent or publisher might find useful.
If you want more, I’ve got that, too.
