A quick introduction, as some famous dude said something about brevity and wit and souls, and I tend to agree with him.
I write speculative fiction, mostly sci-fi at present. Unpublished but pretty close to having a book ready to start shopping around to agents, so I expect to be in the query trenches soon.
I read voraciously, about 50-70 books/year. About 75% sci-fi and fantasy, with some other stuff mixed in. Favorites in the past year or two include The Murderbot Diaries, most of John Scalzi's work, 'Salem's Lot, and Cloud Atlas.
I've been writing most of my life, but took a break from seriously working on anything for about 15 years while pursuing an acting career. Now hyperfocused on getting a complete novel out into the world, hopefully to be followed by many more.
I do beta read, and I enjoy critiquing and exchanging thoughts on work. I've done a lot of it over the years, and I look forward to exploring this new forum in which to do so. And yes, I'm also hoping I'll find some people here who will be able to help me hone my own work.
My hobbies include hiking and Krav Maga, though I'm sadly rusty on the latter at the moment. Too much time spent hammering the latest novel into shape--but so it goes. I have, alas, not figured out how to fit everything I'd like to do into 24 hours/day.
