About Me
The Basics
Hi, I'm Ken.
I'm a thirty-something guy living in North Carolina who is finally
married, much to my parents' relief. I am relatively thin and neat,
and now I finally have evidence that I'm not gay.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
When I am sober, I work as a software engineer, but my real passion is writing, which is why I have this web site. It seems to be okay if one drinks while writing; in fact, it even seems to be encouraged. But you show up to work drunk ONE TIME and you get in SO MUCH TROUBLE, GEEZ.
If you want to contact me,
