I'm a science fiction, fantasy, and horror writer. I love reading sci-fi, fantasy, and horror. I read all sorts of non-fiction stuff on Japan, China, history, philosophy, folklore, martial arts, swords and knives. I currently practice Kung Fu styles; Xingyi, Chen style Taijiquan, and Cheng style Baguazhang. I also practice a type of Japanese swordsmanship called Toyama ryu Iai-battodo.
