Michael Mortimer
I am a computer programmer and a beginning freelance writer. I love playing video games in my spare time and enjoy everything about computers.
I read a lot, mostly about History and Science, but also quite a bit of fiction as well. My favorite work of fiction being 'The Hobbit, or There and Back Again' by J. R. R. Tolkien.
I also have extensive knowledge in Scandinavian history and culture, along with quite a bit of knowledge involving many major religions, particularly Pagan religions and Abrahamic religions.
