LOL, which author wrote that they kept a water proof pad in the shower--just for that reason!?!

Well hello!
Kevin J. Powers here, budding author, storyteller, and student of history. I haven't had any fiction published yet, though I have had several Op/Eds published in newspapers and websites around the country. I'm often typing away at something as part of my job as a Legislative Consultant for the California State Assembly and my prior work in Public Interest advocacy.
I've always said that publishing fiction was a personal "pipe dream" of mine; I knew writing was something that I wanted to do but had no idea how to get there. My work in politics can be very time-intensive, and I've often found myself doodling in my notes or mapping out elaborate stories when I perhaps I should be otherwise more attentive ;) I've decided that the best way for me to realize my dream is to just write, plot, and write some more.
For 8 years or so I've simmed in Star Trek PbEM RPGs, and I also took several creative writing classes while studying for my minor in English. I'm currently working on a short story about two California Department of Justice Special Agents, and ultimately I would love to write some thriller/mystery-type novels. I'm just chipping away at it all right now.
I love urban fantasy, mystery, and even a little high fantasy (though that can get a bit ponderous). I love collaborating with other writers and I think I'm a fairly good sounding board. If anyone is interested in having someone edit over your work and provide some good constructive criticism, feel free to shoot me an e-mail.
I'm looking forward to working with you all in the future!
Best,
Kevin
