Hello! Thanks for checking out my profile. I'm here primarily to find new friends, although I am certainly enjoying the scenic landscape!
Things about me (in no particular order):
1. I was born in Oklahoma, spent most of my life in Missouri, moved to Pennsylvania for a few years, and now reside in Iowa.
2. I am a Pagan man. If you have issues with that, then move along; I have little patience for bigots.
3. I am also a Pagan author and teacher. If you would like me to speak at your event, message me. My non-fiction books include "Travels Through Middle Earth: The Path of a Saxon Pagan", "A Handbook of Saxon Sorcery and Magic" and "To Walk a Pagan Path", among others. In fiction I have written the novels "Perception" and "Once Every Season".
4. I am happily married to a wonderful man. In 1994 we stood before our gods and our folk to pledge our union to one another. In 2014, after the commonwealth of Pennsylvania finally gained marriage equality, our marriage was made legal in a ceremony held on our 20th anniversary. (In 2015 the rest of the United States finally caught up with us.)
5. My husband and I have an open relationship. This does not mean we are looking around for anything, it just means we prefer to have a relationship based on love rather than on jealousy.
6. I am a "dog person". We currently share our home with a little water retriever named Caesar. When he was nine months old Caesar earned his CGC, and at 15 months he passed the therapy dog certification test. In the past I have often had more than this, and I cannot imagine living without at least one dog at my side.
7. I love games of all kinds, but especially board games (Monopoly City, Talisman) and tabletop roleplaying games (Dungeons & Dragons, GURPS).
8. There is more information about me (and more photos) on my website at
