Just a guy in his twenties living in Chicago, which is the best city in America unless you're rich, in which case New York is the best. It's also much too cold, but we take a sick sort of pride in it. If you can survive Chicago winters you can survive anything. 

I read a lot and write a lot. I consider myself a scholar of storytelling craft and can be quite critical. I might say something nasty about a book you loved but don't worry, there's nothing wrong with you, I just have ridiculous standards and have a lot of literary pet peeves. 

Some of my favorite authors include: 

Neil Gaiman

Brandon Sanderson

Patrick Rothfuss

Mark Lawrence

Patricia A. McKillip

Mary Robinette Kowal

Margaret Atwood

Jim Butcher

Megan Whalen Turner

Alan Moore

H.G. Wells

Conan Doyle

Saki

Jorge Luis Borges

Shakespeare

Hemingway

James Thurber

Oscar Wilde

Arthur Machen
