What I look like


Following the example of William Wildblood and Frank Berger, I’ve added a photo of myself to the sidebar. Fact is, when I’m reading a (non-ancient) book, I keep flipping to the back flap to remind myself what the author looks like — that’s an essential part of the reading experience — so it’s only fair that I should allow my own readers to do the same.
