When I am not making pastries at breakneck speed, I can be found hiking the Northern California coast, reading, or writing on my laptop. I binge watch stand-up comedy, and enjoy podcasts about fringe science, fringe history, philosophy, psychology, and psychedelics. I occasionally sneak off to a concert or go get lost in some redwoods. Because the supernatural appeared in my early childhood, I have always had an interest in it, and it in me. I never thought I would have so many experiences that I would feel compelled to write about them. But age brings reflection and unusual friends, as well as a larger magnifying glass with which to see the world. This beautiful, strange world. My stories are what happened in my life. Some people get a college degree and forge a career. I tried my hand at bands and songwriting, and my support job as a chef became my career. I did, however, figure out how to send a message to an Alpha civilization, something that is not supposed to exist, and got a reply. What college degree does that fall under I wonder? As far as diving into the unknown... If you are not deeply driven to see beyond what you see, and welcome being permanently changed and stranded in a world where no signposts guide you, I think it best to remain in the happy pursuits of normalcy. Just a suggestion.
