I enjoy camping in state and national parks, and if I get to stargaze there, all the better! I like to read and grew up on mythology, science fiction, and fantasy; occasionally I'll take a stab at some creative writing in the latter two genres.

But all night, Aslan and the Moon gazed upon each other with joyful and unblinking eyes.
