Interests

I've been in San Francisco since 1996 and am a walking database of odd local historical trivia and lore (Ask me about William Leidesdorff or the death of Jane Stanford some time!). I am also a world traveller, published author/poet, gourmand, dollmaker, gamer, Eichler enthusiast, and aspiring horticulturalist. My current favorite book is Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir.
