My "office" is more like a workshop with all sorts of books, games, playthings to stimulate my mind. I also get inspired by science and technology. I read many different scientific sources that provide glimmers of what the future may be like. I work use Miro.com to create boards to transform the future for scenarios.

Never stop writing no matter the criticism. Writing is my way of having time to create and communicate the worlds I envision.

I love creating, I wish I could bring some of my imaginings to life. Writing allows me to control what I create and giving my readers new ways of interpreting the world.

I use the Oculus Quest 2 to stimulate my imagination. I'm also a classically trained painter. The tool I love the most in VR is Tiltbrust. I spend time imagining, doodling, and playing. It gives my mind a new way of thinking.

I had a terrifying nightmare which inspired "2016" the second short story in Laundrygate. My over active imagination was on overload from the barrage of news reports, social media and a great deal of uncertainty about the future.
The first thing I did when I finally pulled myself from the nightmare was grab my iPad and write. "2016" was confusing at first but then it all came together.
