MusicYes, please. I listen to everything except for country past 1983. I'm not afraid to tell people what my guilty pleasures are, except I usually explain it in that weird-ass music journalist-type of way, with lots of references to, like, Big Mama Thornton, instead of saying, "Yeah, I said it. I like to listen to 'Up and Down' by the Vengaboys. What."

   K-Rock's Blurbs
About me:
This is where I hang my pen.

In the summer of 2007 I wrote my ass off at the Clarion Science Fiction/Fantasy Workshop in La Jolla, CA.

What do I write? I skew towards Urban Fantasy and Magical Realism, but I also like to play with prose poetry and a little Skiffy (er, Sci-Fi). I write (or have written) in almost any kind of media imaginable, from Music Journalism to Teleplays. In my writing, I like to try anything once, twice if I really like it.

I've also done a good bunch of slam/performance/spoken word poetry, along with the more "page" kind of poetry as well. I've been on 3 Las Vegas Slam Teams, been on tour, and performed in the U.S., Canada, and England.

I co-host a weekly open mic with Hannah Marisahl called The Seldom Seen Poets every Wednesday at 7pm at Sunrise Coffee Co.
Who I'd like to meet:
You. Seriously. Tell me your story.
