Besides being an inveterate and semi-obsessive compiler of lists, I am also a writer of both fiction and non-.
When writing nonfiction, I use my birth name, B. Clay Shannon
When writing fiction, I use the nom de guerre Blackbird Crow Raven
An example of my fictional work is the Zany Time Travels of Warble McGorkle, which is being serialized here on sub stack. You can find it in its entirety here.
