I've been working for role-playing game publisher Palladium Books for 25 years, but I've been there for the whole 27. I began as a copy editor. Then, as research was needed to obtain real-world data to flesh out fictional worlds with weapons, equipment and vehicles, I learned the ropes. I've contributed text to various books, including Beyond the Supernatural, 2nd Edition, and our quarterly The Rifter.

In the background, I study military history, especially regarding technological developments during World War II and the immediate post-war period, with a special focus on advanced and experimental aircraft and weapons.

Currently, our company is on the comeback trail after a near bankruptcy experience in 2006 involving embezzlement. In the meantime, a movie script is in the works for our hottest role-playing game line, Rifts. 2009 is looking like a great year.
