I'm a father of an 9-year-old daughter (my own MLP infection vector) and a programmer by trade, from military software to top ranked video games (Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3). I've been an avid scifi reader since I first started reading novels at a young age and have a massive collection. Some favorites: Ender's Game, Jumper (book, not the movie—book's better), Hitchhiker's Guide, and the entire Discworld series. A previous (and near future) hobby of mine is video puppetry.

This is my first shot at actually writing fiction since college, lo those many years ago. I'm tickled Pinkie Pie pink that my second attempt has been so widely liked. I'll do what I can to keep that up!

Thanks for reading, it means a lot. :)

A New Story Begun · 3:46am

I'm about 4,000 words into a new story. The idea came out of left field and I decided to run with it. It'll be a while before I release the first chapter, but I'll test out an early synopsis here:

Freakish creatures live in the frozen moments between seconds, unseen and unknown. They live and die among unmoving statuary, unable to make any impact upon the world. Once, or so their stories go, one of the statues came to life.

For Rarity, it's just another day, another dress. But when unexplainable things start to happen around her, she ends up lost and alone, a stranger in a strange land: her own backyard.

Hopefully, that sounds interesting. I'm getting more and more excited about the whole thing as get farther into it. :)

EDIT: (I'll probably be seeking out early plot and flow pre-readers at some point.)

I really loved "Words Failed Her" - very brave not to hit the instant reset button at the end. Looking forward to reading more from you!

I'll do so! Soon as I've read all of mine through again. I found one typo, one missing comma (after a but-replacing however), and an And I missed. And now, page two...

Daww, such sentiment. Hey, now that we're past that whole professional aspect of things, I'd love to hear your thoughts on my own work, provided you, y'know, actually read the pone as well as write it!
