Hi there. If you've reached this home page by way of eSCENE, I urge you to skim this quickly and get back to the great stories I've had the pleasure to assemble! If you haven't heard about it yet, eSCENE is a yearly anthology of the best short fiction published on the Internet. eSCENE was recently spotlighted in InterText magazine as "a great way to draw public attention to what we and so many other online publishers do..." (click here for Jason Snell's editorial).

I am a writer, editor, and graphic designer living in Seattle, Washington. I received my B.A. in English Writing from Whitworth College (in Spokane, not Walla Walla), and promptly put it to good use working for a translation agency formatting documents in foreign languages. I've reclaimed my English department heritage, however, by quitting that job and becoming the Managing Editor for Open House, a book publisher that frequently creates titles for Peachpit Press.

Of the characters on Friends, I most relate to Ross (and yes, of The Breakfast Club characters, I related to Anthony Michael Hall, who is actually quite the buff guy nowadays, so there); I drink double-tall, light-vanilla, light-chocolate mochas from Starbucks or Diva (yes, that's what I order, and yes, I get strange looks from people); spend time with my beautiful wife Kim; and write on my PowerBook 100 (I mean write with, of course; I haven't actually marked-up the case).

Oh, and "Kepi" is "Jeff" in Hawaiian, if you're wondering about the email address.

If you'd like more information about me, or are just dying to send some email that I promise will generate a personal response, write to me at kepi@halcyon.com.
