The Purist's Blog

Welcome!  I’m The Purist, and this is my blog.  I’m a software engineer by trade, but I’m also a writer, a gamer, and the father of an amazing young man.  I like baseball, archery, and role-playing games.  I believe in the Oxford comma and two spaces after a period, but I’ll forgive you if you think otherwise.  I prefer baking to cooking, and I wish that I could subsist on chocolate chip cookies and peach tea.  I’ll read just about anything once, but tend to gravitate toward fantasy and suspense.

The Voice of the Purist was originally a weekly column I wrote for a friend’s fantasy baseball site a decade ago, but as I wrote it, I realized that I had a lot more to talk about than just baseball.  Books followed, but even those are limited in scope.  What I really wanted was a place to write about everything else.  From that thought, the Voice of the Purist blog was born.

Thanks for stopping by.   I’m glad you’re here, and I hope you enjoy your stay!
