Mr Osterman lives in South-east Michigan with his wife and partner Jennifer, their son Xander and daughter Kaylee. The modest house is also home to four cats, Marley, Mina, Currie and Serendipity. By day, he is a "mild mannered" high school math teacher, and by night a writer and gamer.

In addition to writing FantastiCon, Mr. Osterman also is managing a web novel "Mind the Thorns". It updates every Monday based on reader votes as to what the main character, Regan, should do next. The story follows her birth and adventures as a newly formed vampire, struggling to adapt to her new life, and still rekindle the loves she has let fall by the wayside as a mortal. Readers can find the story at http://www.MindTheThorns.com

@SeeThomasHowl So I've been told.  Though if you ask the wife I'm pretty sure she'll argue it. :)

@deathofcool Happy do so.  As for the reader-directed I don't think I'd do it again.  It's fun and engaging, but you run the risk of not liking your protagonist.  That said, it is fun to write and toss it out there and see what happens.

Hello. Thanks for following. Nice to meet you. The interactive way you've chosen to do your web novel is absolutely fascinating.

Thank you for the tips and feed back. Anyone can say they like the plot but the tips about the writing itself and plot direction is a lot more helpful. It's greatly appreciated!

Hi, Rob.  Nice to finally meet another MALE writer.  I would like to read each others stories and then comment on what we liked.  Would that be o.k??
Mine is SOVA VAMPIRES.  Peaked at Number 28 on vampire and #15 on spiritual. genres.  
Yeah, I know... that's WEIRD!
Peace, BCG
