About Tanner
I'm a bioinformaticist by trade. For most of my career, that skill set paid the bills while I used my evenings and weekends to write books, compose music, and work on a variety of open-source programming projects. Eventually - and fortunately - I came to the realization that while I greatly enjoy science, I am not a very good scientist. In 2011, I quit my job and took up writing full-time. The plan for 2012 is to find a publisher for the two novels I've completed, while plowing ahead on a non-fiction project that is taking much (MUCH) longer than I expected. In the meantime, I use this site to collect my many side projects, which I hope is more useful than hiding them in an obscure desk drawer.
Kind regards to all. ~Tanner (21 Feb 2012)
