Hi! I'm a writer and a dog fancier who happens to be owned by Shiba inus. If you're interested in more stuff written by me or in homage to one of the craziest, most endearing breeds I've ever met up with, head on over to my website at ShibaInus.ca.
In my spare time when I'm not taking the dog out, working, eating or sleeping, I like to cycle, lift weights, read escapist fiction, play in the Society for Creative Anachronism and wait impatiently for pomegranate season.
