I moved to New Hampshire with my wife and son a few years ago, after being a SPED teacher in a tiny school district in Northern New York, and am able now to explore my interests and curiosity to a greater degree than back in what I think of as my old life.
I'm a writer, having published five books (four novels and a collection of novellas), and am in the process of polishing a few more for publication while I finish my MFA at a small and crunchy college in Vermont. I wrote the first few books via the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) program; if anyone has questions about writing or publishing, I'd be happy to render what help I can.
I love to read, mostly mysteries, but a bit of everything.
I live with two rescue dogs, mostly labs, and help out a few organizations shuttling rescues from vet or shelters to fosters and forever homes.
I do a lot of cooking, and am planning a cookbook at some point in the future. I really like experimenting with fermented foods, infusions, sous-vide cookery, along with refining recipes I've found online or in books to be more in line with my tastes (which run to garlic, butter, various types of peppers, and celebrating simple, yet interesting, combinations of ingredients).
I enjoy solo-canoeing, hammock camping, and exploring the world on my ebike and using my tiny trailer as a base of operations for trips. I've traveled extensively all my life, and am always planning the next trip.
I am struggling with a lifelong backpack addiction, but am 23 days since buying my last pack.
I'm glad to have found TFO, and look forward to learning more about enhancing Darwin's life through my studies and lurking here.
Thanks,
Jamie
ps - if anyone is interested, my books can be found on Amazon or ordered through your local bookstore, I'm on FB and Instagram, and have a website I don't contribute often enough to at www.JamieSheffield.com
