One-Line Bio

I am a writer, editor, and educator who is fascinated by the ways virtual realities affect and change our views of ourselves and our world.

Biography

I have been writing and teaching writing for more than 25 years. My primary interest, before I discovered Second Life, were nature, psychology, and health/healing. Now that I have been immersed in the Second Life culture for almost a year, I've broadened my writing to include stories and thoughts about my inworld experiences. I believe that virtual worlds have a lot to teach us about ourselves - what it means to be human and what we have the potential to become.

Interests

classical music, hiking, cycling, second life, creative writing, the natural world, theater (particularly shakespeare), equine assisted therapy, and swimming with dolphins.
