About me: I'm boring. I won't waste your time.

Notes on the stories:

My current project, It's a Man's World, is slowly progressing.
Poems may appear periodically as the inspiration strikes me. Oh,
and I've just realized that the fictionpress document manager removes
my asterixes (*), which generally indicate the passage of time, a
switch in point of view, or a sudden change of location. I
realize that these transitions will be confusing and am trying to
devise an artistic manner of dealing with the abrupt changes; I
generally prefer not to insert a heading that says "Peter's POV"
because that clashes with the tone of the rest of the story.
Please bear with me while I try to find a suitable alternative.
