Author has written 20 stories for Fantasy, General, General, Humor, Fable, Song, Friendship, and Religion.
First off, it's pronounced GEESE-BREKT. Thanks.

I'm an avid musician, an amateur calligrapher, and a devourer of good fantasy. I'm a Christian, and that aspect finds its way into all my work, whether overtly or not. I have a great love of strange words. I collect hymnals. I put ranch dressing on everything. I've lived in the same Midwestern city my whole life, though I travel regularly. My joys in life are tea, cheese, peppernuts, large shapeless quilts, sunny days, yelling at my friends (they yell back, and we have a great time), good music, philosophy/theology, and my large and wonderful extended family.

Some friendly advice:
"How fleeting are all human passions when compared to the massive continuity of ducks."

Some real wisdom:
"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." I Corinthians 13:13 (NIV)
