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.

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.
