I started writing short stories back in 1985 soon after we got our first personal computer (a no-name brand 386 running at 25 mHz). I was inspired by Barry Yourgrau's short fiction collection, Wearing Dad's Head.

The collection, Follow My Madness - an explanation in stories, is a work of fiction. Although most were inspired by some real-life experience, the stories are not autobiographical. Many of the characters in Chasing the Meridian evolved from characters that first appeared here: Diane K, Jill, Molly, Jean, Karen (as Kiara), Tom the Bartender, Dr. Amanda Frank, Peter and Wendy.
