To get the right word in the right place is a rare achievement.
–Mark Twain
Whether writing my own work or editing someone else's, I have no higher goal than this: the right word in the right place. If it's good enough for Mark Twain, it's good enough for me. My writing ranges from speculative fiction to craft essays to lyric poetry. To read some of my work, pop over to my publications.
