Writing, reading, playing guitar. Going out with friends on the weekend, or just sitting around doing absolutely nothing. Taking naps on the couch is one of the small pleasures in life, I would think.

About me: I used to be a writer. Now I'm an author.
After spending a grueling five years at UW-Eau Claire and having too much fun, I chose to pack up everything and head back to Milwaukee to finally enter the rat race. Turns out this isn't as fun as you might think, which is probably why I still go out on the weekends and avoid work at every possible turn.
So what's the deal Brosky? Can I buy the book directly from you or do I have to go through your minions at Amazon.com? I'll gladly pay whatever for a work by my Wednesday night drinking partner...CAUSE YOUR GOLD BABY!
