Todd Schuett
Aurora, Colorado, United States Email: toddschuett@attbi.com Although I work outside my "field of expertise" as a technical writer (I hold degrees in religion and psychology), I maintain a healthy interest in these areas. And as I have lived abroad for several years (in Norway and Japan), I attempt to bring a broad perspective to whatever I write about.
As a freelance writer, I have published both fiction and nonfiction. A short bio follows:
