Welcome

Well, it's a snowy weekend, one that we planned to be stuck at home throughout. The snow didn't turn up in quite the amounts predicted, but it's still a pretty great time to turn on the furnace, light a few candles and wrap up in blankets while making a new writing blog.

I've been a writer, professionally, if you don't count in-school fiction endeavors, for almost a decade now. A lot of the time, that's meant freelance writing and editing on everything from journalism to comic books. Lately, I'm more and more interested in making something of that early dream of writing books and stories, telling tales like the ones I've always loved to read.

That's where the name of the blog comes from, in fact. It evokes thoughts of the adventure and magic to be found in the fantasy and sci-fi shelves of the library or bookstore, the ones I'd always gravitate toward, searching for titles I hadn't read yet. I hope that my writing can help create that sense of wonder for other readers eventually.

While I've published a few things and edited a few published things, mostly comics in the creative realm, I have yet to publish a book of my own, and so that's my next professional goal. Of course, I have one in mind! It's as yet untitled (OK, it's been through a few titles and I haven't settled on one yet) and it's in its second, developmental draft right now. I'll tell you all more about that when the time is right. Until then, welcome.
