I started writing before print editions were routinely archived online. Even today, the vanishingly few articles, interviews, and reviews that’ve been digitized are obscured by paywalls. So, mercifully, you probably won’t be subjected to my early writing. Still, some of it’s out there. Here are a few pieces I’m less-ashamed of sharing …
-“The Pac-Man dossier,” writing as “Markoff Chaney,” originally published in 5enses, January 2013 (satire)

One happy consequence is a quotation in a mainstream book, “Super Fly: The Unexpected Lives of the World’s Most Successful Insects” by New York Times Best-Selling Author Jonathan Balcombe. Unfortunately my articles (fnord) about how to remove floor paint from concrete and what to clean your dog’s ear’s with have yet to achieve similar accolades. Go figure.
