Currently unemployed paralegal, background mostly in criminal defense, workers' rights, domestic and property investigations with some immigration and other oddities on the side. I also write, fiction exclusively now after finding that writing well-researched articles for the internet (after well over a thousand) not only doesn't even remotely pay enough for the time, effort and angst, but also keeps me from writing anything worthwhile.
Which I may or may not be doing now ;-)
I used to read more fantasy than I do now. Rothfuss has run me back to my roots, literary fiction, as there's not much fantasy out there that, for me, stands up to to Kingkiller. I find myself getting my fantasy fix mostly from going back to old masters like A. E. Merritt, Moorcock, and the next generation: McKillip, Marillier, Kennealy-Morrison.
And Jack Cady, who I'd describe more as literary fiction with sides of magical reality and a pinch of fantasy, and has an unsurpassed grasp of human nature and an ability to transmit it into writing.
Much like Rothfuss.
