A bit about me

I am a researcher and author who loves psychology, mythology, statistics, fantasy, science fiction, music and athletics. Currently, I work for the American Institutes for Research as an Industrial and Organizational Psychology Research Associate. When I am not on the clock, I write (like my book, The Siblings, the Couple, and the City), play D&D, pickup basketball, and jam on my guitar. You can read more about me by clicking here.

Do you like fantasy style myths? Do you enjoy thinking about big ideas using mythological language? Then Stories I Found is for you! First, it takes the compilation of fantasy myths I am currently writing (The Siblings, the Couple, and the City) and serializes it, so you get a fresh short story snippet every two weeks in an easily digestible chunk. Second, each section will explore a verity of ideas using mythological language. For example, ever wondered how modern American culture might tell a creation myth? Or perhaps how someone might mythologies the experience of dating in the internet age? I have! These topics and many more are things that I approach in the Stories I found. You will also get a look into what I am working on, how I approach writing, and each news letter will contain a fun something extra for people to enjoy. So, if you want an epic fantasy tale of gods and heroes presented in digestible pieces every two weeks that takes on interesting topics using mythological language, this is the place for you! Don’t forget to look for the CONFIRMATION EMAIL! It may be sent to spam or promotions!
