What I Have Done
- I have a Ph.D in English from UCLA, with an emphasis on Medieval English and Celtic languages and literatures.
- I taught English composition, business writing, and HTML, and various software applications, as well as Shakespeare surveys and British literature surveys from 800 to 1832 (the Norton Anthology of English Literature Vols I & II).
- I worked on the first generation of commercial and scholarly ebooks at UCLA and at The Voyager Company.
- As a freelance technical editor and writer I tech edited and wrote consumer technology books and wrote white papers and blog posts for various companies, publishers, and sites.
- I am a retired Site Admin and Community Manager for the Absolute Write Forums (2006 – 2022), a community for writers.
- I spent several years as a farrier’s gofer and horse-holder.
- I am currently a full-time caregiver for my Mom.
Where to Find Me
I’m not on any social media. I am aggressively pursuing time to sleep, and read and listen to music, when I'm not helping Mom. I do have a Now page.
My Interests
- Apple technologies: I’ve been using Macs since System 6 and HyperCard.
- As much as I love digital technology, I am a daily user of fountain pens, pencils and paper.
- I read a lot, especially SF & F.
- I am an avid bird watcher.
- Here’s what I’m doing now.
