My name is Bob Strauss. I am a cataloger at Hunter Library, Western Carolina University, Cullowhee, NC. In my spare time, I garden, do some photography, (proof) read and edit horror fiction and "play" fantasy baseball.
I also dabble in climate studies, having almost finished a book on climatic classifications. And I like to collect weather records. Here is one of my editing efforts:

Some of my favorite writers (with links) are: RichardLaymon, Jack Ketchum, Edward Lee, J.F. Gonzalez, Diana Barron, Brent Zirnheld, Wrath James White, and Shane Ryan Staley. Also my area at Delirium Books.

MY International Annotated Bibliography of Climate Classifications. At long last. Word edition available on request.

Nature's Wonders
I do like oddities of nature, as well as its <cliche>regal splendor</cliche>. I don't think html has cliche tags, yet, so I invented one. I hope to keep adding pictures here.
