Get your world and yourself ready for Summer Camp!

Hi hi hi! My name is Haly and I am the Moonlight Bard!

Author. Worldbuilder. Miscreant. Malcontent. Punk.

I'm a worldbuilding educator, fountain pen collector, and dice hoarder. I read Fowler's Dictionary of Modern English Usage for fun and have the lunatic joy of being friends with some of the most punk names in indie fiction.

Interests & Hobbies

You can find me at GenCon every year! I love board and card games and have a collection of over 300. I knit, crochet, dye yarn, and occasionally try my hand at spinning (to mixed results).

Favorite Movies

My go-to movies are usually by Mel Brooks and Monty Python. But then there's also Clue and the Princess Bride. And Tarantino, always Tarantino. The Scream movies and Wes Craven's New Nightmare belong on the list, as well. Rise of the Guardians was a magnificient piece of world-building, and the Dungeons & Dragons movie with Chris Pine is a special sort of amazing.

Favorite TV Series

I will forever love-love-love Beavis and Butthead. (Go ahead and sneer, Sir Patrick Stewart and I will be over here eating it with a spoon.) Rick & Morty, The Twilight Zone, and The X Files have heavy influence on me.

Favorite Books

Anathem by Neal Stephenson, and his Baroque Cycle, Seveneves, Cryptonomicon. The Phineas Poe trilogy by Will Christopher Baer. Dermaphoria by Craig Clevenger. As the Waltz was Ending by Emma Butterworth. The Anne books by Lucy Montgomery. The Midnight Vault anthology.

Favorite Writers

Neal Stephenson. Will Christopher Baer. Craig Clevenger. Emil Ottoman. George Kalantzis. Tomas Clark Schecter. Pablo Baez.

Favorite Games

I love Gloom, because it's a story telling game. Of course. Big fan of Tokaido and National Parks; Villainous, Betrayal At Baldur's Gate, and Azul are also perenneal favorites. I especially love games that are beautiful to look at. Bonus points if there are cats.
