**Update (Feb '09) And now he has!**

Greetings! I am pleased to have been named the Feature Writer for the Biographies & Memoirs section here at Suite 101. Eight of my articles have been chosen for an Editor's Choice Award:

Along with my biography-related articles, I contribute pieces on Minnesota sports, rock music, writer's resources, geocaching, and Minnesota travel. I also review fiction, and perhaps one or two of my recipes will soon show up as well.

In addition to Suite 101, I also contribute to Examiner.com as the Minneapolis Day Trips Examiner. I also maintain a Lit Blog, called Books 'N Ammo.

Here's a suggestion: In order not to miss any of the upcoming content, why not subscribe to an RSS feed of my, or any of your favorite Suite writers' articles? Access is available on any page.
