			 Mild-mannered freelance writer, editor, and consultant by day 
			(PSFB is my consulting
			business), by night I am a wild and wanton er... umm... well,
			actually, I'm rather mild-mannered by night, too.
			 However, no matter what anyone says, I don't 
			diagram sentences just for fun.
			 Honestly, I haven't done that for years and years.
			 When I'm not on the hunt for dangling participles or "As you know, Bob"-isms,
			I can often be found playing board games such as 
			
			Tigris & Euphrates 
			and 
			
			Vinci and card games such as 
			
			Mü and 
			
			Tichu. I also enjoy curling up with a good book, watching baseball
			(moreso when the Seattle Mariners aren't forgetting how to play), and 
			cooking and eating foods from all over the world.
			 I enjoy traveling and have been to many places in the US and abroad. Often, 
			I manage to arrange my trips so they coincide with a science fiction convention
			or a visit to theme parks with roller coasters—sometimes both.
			 I am disabled and use a nifty power wheelchair. I have studied Japanese, played 
			drums and handbells (no, not at the same time), and gone snorkeling and scuba
			diving. My home is near Seattle, Washington, USA, but I also spend time in 
			Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
