I am a man of many ambitions, and most of them involve writing. I wanna write screenplays, ideally for animated features. Non-fiction, prose, and political commentary would also be welcome. I gots ideas a' plenty.

I also enjoy web design. In fact, most of my work experience has been in usability and technical writing. My resume tells the tale.

The rest of this page is dedicated to upcoming projects...

Social Science for Social Software

For too long, social software design has been mired in armchair theories and anecdotal evidence. Social scientists have amassed an impressive body of empirical research on topics from anti-social behavior to group decision-making. Unfortunately, your average software developer has no easy access to this mountain of wisdom. My book attempts to rectify this state of affairs by reviewing the most relevant research and providing many example applications.

Black Powder

I've been pluggin' away on this western/steampunk/anime setting for some time. Gunslingers with Tesla coils, magician alchemists, and otherworldly Savages who prowl the edge of the known world!

At present, we're planning to publish the introduction for free, then a series of low-price pdf chapters. When they're done, we'll compile the whole book for a glossy, print-on-demand edition.

'digm Novels

I've got great ideas for action movies, TV series, and video games. To get them the attention they deserve, I'll need a format that's more readable than a screenplay, but less verbose than a short story. Something like a treatment, but with a lot more style.

First on the block is "Dead Man's Hand," the heart-warming tale of a girl and her possessed hand. Also, there's a witch doctor and a shapeshifting cannibal spirit. Teh awesome.

Twilight Memoirs

My good friend Clint Krause asked me to give his Chaosium monograph a read-through. I was all too happy to render an opinion, and he was good enough to give me an editing credit. As I can attest, it's a great read.
