Elegant Entropy is the official blog of Lamar Henderson, writer, designer, general all-around goofball.
Lamar’s collection of short fiction, Ten Minutes ’til the Savages Come, was self-published in 2006, with an e-book version coming out in 2011. A French adaptation of his role-playing game Phantasm was published as Imago in 1997. He is also the author of two as yet unpublished novels.
Currently, Lamar works as a Web designer, graphic artist, writer and editor, and lives with his wife, Stephanie, and their overly rambunctious cat, Cooper, in Columbia, MO, where he also enjoys writing about himself in the third person.

So, I’ve been told I have to get serious about editing down Reason to Be until it’s at least under 100,000 words. Sadly, that means that the entire Maggie subplot is going to have to
