About Lore

• That’s my real given first name.

• I grew up and lived most of my adult life in the Greater Bay Area of California, and now I live in Seattle with my wonderful, inspiring wife Jenny, our dog Max, and our tortie Jasmine.

• I’m probably best known for my early-Web humor site, The Brunching Shuttlecocks, but I’ve also written for Wired.com and Wired magazine.

• I’m the author of The Book of Ratings: Opinions, Grades, and Assessments of Everything Worth Thinking About

• I’m planning on re-releasing said book as an ebook. If this excites you, feel free to drop me a line saying so. It might light a fire under my ass.

• I’ve written a weird-science novel called Jinbodgers and I’m currently seeking an agent for it. Are you a literary agent? Well, why not? Are you too good for it?

• I’m working on a fantasy novel called Ogrecrantz & Goblinstern.

• I tell jokes in my Notes. Make of that what you care to.

• I’m 54 and I recently, finally, have gotten my depression and ADHD meds sorted out. This isn’t really germane to my postings, but it does explain why I finally finished my first novel at 54.

• Because I have ADHD, time means nothing to me and being 54 doesn’t feel much different from being 34, except for a bit more chronic pain from my lower back and knees and such.

• I’m generally pretty friendly.
