About me:

I am a professor of Literature and Writing at Mount Vernon Nazarene University...

I have a public office and a private office. The public one is nicer looking and the private one contains much more stuff (and resembles my actual office--i.e. it is a mess!.... Meanwhile here are online version of the syllabi for the classes I teach

Being in literature thought I would keep track of my readings by making ..a page indexing my readings..
Being in writing I also put up a page indexing my own writing (such an egotist!)
Being a love of Sci Fi and Fantasy I am the advisor for the MVNU Sci Fi and Fantasy Club
Loving to Draw I have a cartoon site (but not much is there) at deviant art.....

Proud Graduate from. . .

Eastern Nazarene College (74-78)
Lehigh University (1986): Thesis: Critical Reflections of the ..Idylls of the King..: Reflectors of Their Ages"
University of Rhode Island (1992): Dissertation: "Biblical Cues of Loss and Reclamation in David Copperfield....." ..

Who I'd like to meet:

If I could travel in time I'd like to meet Jesus Christ--of course I hope to meet him in my future--Charles Dickens, Mark Twain and Jim Henson. Today I would like to meet with George Lukas and the animators who work at Pixare. Creativity and Imagination makes my world go round.
