I am a writer, editor, and publisher living just north of the Golden Gate Bridge with my wife, author/teacher Maura Vaughn, our author-to-be daughters. And our (apparently) non-literary cats.<br>Currently, I run my own small publishing company, Stillpoint Digital Press. Since 1999, I’ve overseen the publications program for Joseph Campbell Foundation. I have edited three posthumous volumes of Campbell’s unpublished writing and lectures and overseen editions of nine additional titles, the most recent being the third edition of the seminal <em>Hero with a Thousand Faces.</em><br>I have just finished <em>Risuko</em>, a young adult historical adventure novel (whew! lots of qualifications on that!) set in Japan during the Civil War era. The sequel, <em><strong>Bright Eyes</strong> hits</em> the shelves on May 5, 2022<strong>.</strong><em></em><br>I’m a passionate reader of mysteries, fantasy and whatever else I can get my hands on. I am a story addict.<br>I also have a really healthy respect for heights. (In one of Terry Pratchett’s <em>Tiffany Aching </em>books, the heroine realizes that it’s not the heights that she’s afraid of: it’s the depths. I understand that.)<br>And that’s me, at the moment.
