writing
 

I began to write while I was in the Navy to help keep my inner angry little demons down and give myself a much needed creative outlet. I got really serious about it in early 2002 when I started taking classes at The New School in NYC, and joined up with the Altered Fluid writing group.

Altered Fluid has been lucky enough to have a bi-annual radio appearance for the past several years on "Hour of the Wolf" on WBAI radio in Manhattan. Hosted by Jim Freund "Hour of the Wolf" is a weekly Saturday morning show about all things in the speculative fiction world. We Fluidians sit down with him and do a live critique session on-air, so that others can hear the process.

You can find our shows on iTunes by searching for Altered Fluid, and the most recent episodes should be available through the Hour of the Wolf website linked above. A few samples are linked below.
