I am a scholar.

I’ve always been interested in literature—specifically fantasy and science fiction literature. I suppose I can trace the roots of this interest to my love of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, whose books I began reading in junior high school.

Lo these many years later, I hold a Master of Arts degree in Literature and Language (Honors) with a specialty in Tolkien Studies.

My ongoing interest is in the area of transmedial storytelling, where literary stories are consumed across a number of sources including books, graphic novels/comics, video games, and film/television. I believe that transmediality will be the literary standard not very many decades from now.
