Jonathan Moeller received a fine classical education, so naturally he works in IT. Diis aliter visum and all that.
He’s also a writer, of sorts. His novel “Demonsouled” was Amazon.com’s #1 Early Adopter Item in Science Fiction and Fantasy for May 2005 (an award which, in terms of actual prestige, is about the level of winning Third Prize for Best Hog at an Iowa county fair). He’s also written short fiction for Sword & Sorceress 22, Sword & Sorceress 23, MindFlights, Apex Digest, AlienSkin, Aofie’s Kiss, The Sword Review, and others, and nonfiction for Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader, The Dollar Stretcher, and AbsoluteWrite.com.
Fine classical educations are great until you find yourself working in a completely unrelated job which your degree makes you (in theory) overqualified for while you wonder why you bothered in the first place. (No, I’m not bitter… *cough*)
Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt.
These days I do things completely unrelated to my degree. Which isn’t surprising; I thought I wanted to be a historian, but I really just wanted to strip-mine history for plot ideas.
XD nice introduction!
