It's been over a year since I last contributed. I have no desire to engage in dialog at this time, but I'm still intrigued by the experiment. I plan to make occasion additional contributions in the future, especially in the areas of archeology and lithic technology.

I'm a professional writer, archeologist, and historian, whose writing experience includes ten years of technical writing in the cultural resources management and telecommunications fields. I've written continuously for more than 20 years, and in the course of the last decade I've published numerous poems, several short stories, dozens of popular articles on a variety of subjects, seven professional papers within the field of archeology, and one e-book. Many of my popular articles have been published on the Internet as well as in print media.

For fun, I like to read, write, make beer, play Magic: the Gathering, and collect stuff. I've just started adding a few things to the Wikipedia. Mostly I just make edits when I see something that's ungrammatical or misspelled, but I originated the following pages:

• Artifact
• Bulb of applied force
• Cultural Resources Management
• Chert
• Clarke's Law
• Eraillure
• Ethologist
• Flintlock
• Hammerstone
• Humanity
• Lithic core
• Lithic flake
• Lithic reduction

And many others.

In the future, I plan to add additional pages concerning archeology and allied subjects, and I'm hoping to contribute to some stubs wherever I find them.

I have a web site where I offer my writing services. If you'd like to see it, it's here.

FAIR WARNING: I also possess an odd, sardonic sense of humor that I may ocasionally express on talk or User pages (though never on subject pages). If this bothers you, well...tough. Stormwriter
