Brief Author Bio: "Who am I?" This is the question that pops into my mind every time that I see a call for my biography. The first response usually falls to my job as an electronics salesman at The Source in the Southridge Mall in Sudbury, ON. This response is always buffeted by my education: TESOL Certification, Honours Degree in English Literature, and a Bachelor of Education with a focus in Multimedia Technology in Education. But after those two realms are exposed, I realize how very poorly they characterize me. I am more than my job or my education, just as everyone is more than their job and education. I'm a geek with a penchant for technology and the developmental leaps and bounds associated with the growth of our society. I'm a political enthusiest, scrolling through page after page of Canadian political developments, keeping abrest of the latest alterations. I'm an active role-player, who loves the darker side of a campaign world. I was a member of Scouts Canada for a great many years, exploring the outdoors as I continue to do on my mountain bike. All these things are a part of me, they are a part of who I am. It is the combination of these things and many others, and the way they play off of each other that have crafted me into the person I am today. So I ask again, "Who am I?" and I answer "I am the new awesome." May your answer be as uplifting when you are asked who you are. |

Synopsis: Hedged In
Hedged is a Supernatural/Horror novel. A lonely recluse named Boris Platov is called in by the county sheriff to help with a series of animal-like murders. With his werewolf sense, Platov is able to track the killer to a clearing where he discovers that it is killing people from his thirty-two year old wedding album. In order to keep Platov from tracking her, the killer begins planting some of Platov's personal affects at the murder scenes, causing the sheriff to shift focus from the real killer to Platov himself. Joined by Ivan Krakov, a childhood friend, and his occult-oriented daughter Bodana, Platov discovers that the killer is his missing wife.
Using Ivan as bait they try to catch Galina, but the plan backfires and she takes Bodana instead while a local mob forces Platov into a makeshift jail and conducts a rigged trial to determine his fate. Ivan manages to break Platov out of jail. They rescue Bodana and are interrupted mid-battle by the rampaging mob that ends up killing both Galina and Platov. The mob, already enraged, witnesses Bodana using her powers forcing Ivan and Bodana to flee for their lives.
I figure this can turn into a trilogy. The second part will deal with Ivan and Bodana's trials in the city. The third part will push them into a fight for acceptance with a two local groups of supernaturals fighting for control of the area... That'd be NaNo 2010 and 2011 though. ;)
