I've been lifelong fascinated by stories and the ways we tell them to each other. These ways are usually classified as "The Arts" (music, theater, dance). History is interesting, too; I tend to look at history as a long string of mostly true-life stories giving us insight into people just like us, and just as different from us as we are from each other, who lived in other times. And I just can't help myself from giving everyone who will listen the tools to reimagine old stories, make new ones, and write their own stories as they live them.
