Me at a Glance

@starbreaker's avatar

You can call me if you don’t already know me. My true name is not hard to find, but knowing it will give you no power over me.

I’m a writer by choice, a programmer by necessity, and a metalhead by the grace of the witch. I’m a working-class college dropout with delusions of erudition. I’m a New Yorker with a face made for radio and a voice made for print. I’m autistic because God drinks on the job. I’m the reason that the Gemini protocol’s companion upload protocol is called “Titan”. I have a day job, not a career, and that’s the way I like it.

You may have heard of me. You might even think you know me. You don’t, and you still won’t once you’re done with this website. You are nevertheless welcome to visit and explore, but beware: hic svnt leones...

My Fiction at a Glance

tattoo-like emblem for the Starbreaker saga

The dark lord wears white.
He already rules the world.
Now he means to save it.
He just might succeed, too...

...with a little help from his enemies.

Disclaimers

You might want to read this before continuing, but I won’t force you.

caveat lector: let the reader beware!

This is a personal website. I make liberal use of profanity in my writing and discuss topics that are not appropriate workplace reading. I publish fiction here that may not be appropriate for young or sensitive readers.

I operate this website in my leisure time and at my own expense. All opinions posted are my own unless attributed, and free to a good home. I do not speak for or represent my employers, or their clients and partners, on this website.

None of my viewpoints should be construed as neutral or objective. I am thoroughly biased. My worldview is generally irreligious, anticapitalist, and antiauthoritarian.

I am neither a journalist nor an expert in any of the topics in which I take an interest, though I make an effort to do research when writing. Nevertheless, nothing I post here should be considered factual unless independently verified. Discretion on the part of the reader is required. Children under 13 must consult a parent or guardian before reading further.
