Wes couldn't decide between a life grounded in fact-based journalism and fanciful computer-game design, so he's thrown himself into both during the past 20 years or so. As a journalist, he has worked for The St. Petersburg Times in Florida and The Herald-Sun in Durham, N.C. He developed the Travelers faction and several towns in the Grand Canyon Province for the post-apocalyptic MMORPG Fallen Earth, which launched in 2009. And, since 1998, he has run a text-based collaborative storytelling game called OtherSpace at jointhesaga.com.
