Who am I?
I'm a Christian, I love reading and hiking, I'm a scientist-in-training, I have two degrees, neither of which have anything to do with writing but I write anyway. My primary focus is apologetics, and I love seeing God glorified through every aspect of life and creation.
Also, please be advised that I've been writing on here since I was 15. I'm still a fairly opinionated homeschool graduate and all that but I would like to think I'm a little less vitriolic about it now than my teenage polemics may have you think. :)
