VP and Military Director for American Atheists, Founder of the Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers, Coordinator for the CENTEX-MAAF meetup, scuba-diving motorcyclist and occasional nerd :-)
I'm a fellow atheist and a science fiction/fantasy writer. Through Project EBook Drop on Smashwords, I and other writers are making our e-books available for free to deployed military personnel.

Thanks for helping to spread the word.
