We (my family and I), live in the country in a great community in Alabama. My wife is now an actual free-range chicken farmer and is threatening a small collection of goats. We have brilliant children, (who will be in charge of your entire world shortly, so be nice to me), some courageous canines, three of the worst cats that I have ever encountered (I feel that I am a good judge of feline character), and a slew of various yard birds.
I am new to the food game, but am becoming increasingly obsessed with our cultural mindset and relationship with food, food industry, grass-roots food movements and bio-hacking. All things that make people feel uncomfortable or bored. I am no expert by any means, only a fan. And because I love my family and friends, will keep it that way.
Regarding writing, I love it. It is a mind game, a puzzle, an adventure, and an art form that is a joy to share. I have, at this point, attached it to my actual identity. I actually think of myself as a writer. I receive validation from this facet of my lifestyle. Not from what I produce necessarily, but from being a creator in this realm of art. Good or bad, it is true. And I am keenly interested in the whole process. I am also interested in what it reveals about the authors. Conversely, I am interested in what it reveals about the reader.
Regarding steampunk and weird western, these are concepts that are near and dear to my heart. The possibilities are limitless and I am always working out the technologies in my mind. The questions in my mind? How can I make this technology make sense? How can I implement the technology normally into the milieu of the story? How can I make it feel like the next logical step in human development?
