I live in central Illinois, where I work as a writer and editor. I write articles, essays, short stories, reviews, interviews, poetry, and more. My main fields include speculative fiction, gender studies, and alternative religions. I served as Managing Editor of PanGaia magazine for seven years and Dean of Studies at the Grey School of Wizardry for four years. I often present panels and workshops at conventions and festivals. I have eagerly observed the rise of electronic activism and networking, and hope to continue working with this cutting edge of cultural evolution. I enjoy cooking, crafts, and gardening for wildlife.
