Welcome to my blog. I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I've lived in and traveled to most areas of this massive, beautiful country but have settled here in Edmonton for the past couple of decades. I have a degree in Comparative Literature from the University of Alberta and I still live near the campus. I think reading and studying literature have, to a certain extent, given my existence meaning and context. I have recently discovered the joys of genre fiction and will discuss that, as well as a wide range of topics from mixed martial arts, to movies, to cable television, to current events, and whatever else catches my fancy (whoa, that's a weird expression). I will also feature some of my creative non-fiction and fiction writing. If you are here and reading this, I thank you for stopping by. Enjoy (I hope).
