Welcome your Newest Bard

AKA the Lawyer with the Story-telling Problem

A new bard has stumbled onto the scene, lute clutched tightly in clammy palms.

This is my first-ever blog post, and I’m about as prepared as a “Sam” (whether Gamgee or Tarly) facing a dragon (either Smaug or Balerion).

Now, before you click away in search of more seasoned storytellers, let me tell you a little about the curious creature behind the keyboard.

For the past twenty years, I’ve navigated the legal labyrinth, wrangling contracts and arguing cases.

Picture a courtroom wizard, wielding legalese spells and conjuring justice with a well-placed objection (Gandalf, but with less flowing robes and more rumpled suits).

(Not me)

However, after moonlighting for years in the fictional realm, enjoying tales of fantastical creatures and epic battles, I’ve stepped out of the legal shadows and into the sun-dappled meadows of storytelling.

So, here I am, a fledgling SFF writer, blinking and bewildered by the vastness of the online literary world.

Fear not, dear readers, for I come not with pronouncements from a mountaintop, but with the ramblings of a fellow wanderer.
