I live aboard a 30' sailboat which is currently berthed in California. I justify my writing habit by living a frugal and minimalist lifestyle. My dog is my constant, and I mean constant, companion. I write a blog and a web docucomic about life as a LiveAboard, and have just started one about the problem of Water Hyacinth proliferation in the Delta. I am a former beat reporter for a daily newspaper in VT and used to be a freelance magazine contributor. I have three novels and several picture books in the hopper.

Free Business Cards - Referral program that helps me pay for printing my docucomic. If you want help designing a card I will do that for free too. PFL.com is my terrific printer since 1998. You get $50 off your first order which makes your first 500 business cards free. Use Referral Code: RP1JT7C56 when you go to their site. Do not enter billing info. Click "will call in later" to allow the form to function. To SW, I hope this fits in with the permissions of the group. We all need biz cards and it helps my publishing goals too. Thank you.
