William Landay is an American novelist... (wikipedia)

I am interested in computers and technology, and art, photography, and design.
Probably careful plotting reflects my personality. I am meticulous by nature. I can't imagine speed-writing anything that happens to pop into my head.
Good stories are driven by conflict, tension, and high stakes.
I'm a bit of a tech geek myself.
You can write a great book and be ignored. Literary history is full of classics that were under-appreciated in their own time.
