T A M W O R K S -- Tristan MacAvery's Official Website!

Welcome to the main page for Tristan MacAvery's official web page. As you can see by this comparatively simple and potentially boring design, it's very much in the category of "under construction." In fact, because I'm always growing and changing, it's extraordinarily likely that it will be continually under construction from now until the last trump sounds. (Even then, I'll probably be trying to tweak something just before reporting to the Eternal Accountant for a tallying of my karmic books.) However, that doesn't mean that you can't browse a bit and have a look at what's going on around here. Start here, with an overview of what everything looks like...

May 5, 2007: Okay, okay, I'm finally updating things. There are reasons why I've been so lax in keeping this blasted thing going. Care to find out what they are?

CONVENTION ALERT:
Tristan will be the Guest of Honor (wow!) at IKASUCON, August 10-12 in Fort Wayne, IN.

Watch for more details, coming soon!

Intangible Plastics is my "services department." This is where you'll get information on my abilities and availability as a technical or creative writer, as a writing mentor, as a presenter of seminars, as a coach in improvisation (for personal or corporate classes), as a teacher and lecturer for schools and universities, and as a complete and utter loony who performs in theater, film, and (in a pinch) stand-up.
NEW—May 2007: Intangible Plastics will have its own offices near downtown Columbus IN this month. More details when they happen!

The Luck Dragon's Lair is my "tangibles department." This is where you'll find all the books that I've got for sale, along with other other products—everything from the occasional rarity (board games, books, videos, music, etc.) to the books and goods produced by my friends (folks you can trust to have really good stuff). This is also where the "tangibles" of my seminars will be—the handouts, the audio CDs, programs and such like. This is a location you'll want to return to often, since you never know just what you might find...

Words is the "verbal department." I'm a writer, which means that I'm babblative in real life and just plain verbose on paper. You'll find sample chapters of my books here, along with supplements to said books (snippets of new novels, background stories to current novels, and more), not to mention observations of the world at large (Enlarge Your World), fan fiction (I've written about a great many worlds rather than the ones that I've invented and/or inhabit), and just about anything else to do with words in general. You might even find some new words up here, since I'm rather fond of educating (from the Latin educare, meaning "to lead").

Me is the "Tristan department." This is where you'll find all the dirt—er, facts, I mean facts about me and my various contributions to the world. This section is all about the man behind the myth, which is probably a good thing, since a myth is as good as a mile. It will include a media kit for those who need material for an article, website, etc. You'll also find most of my favorite websites in this area. You'll discover my causes (can you imagine what it took to cause me in the first place? No, don't go there...), my quirks, my pet peeves (or as Whoopi Goldberg put it, "whole kennels of irritation"), my interests, my fascinations, and various tidbits that I put my attention toward. If you think you're up to this sort of thing, please feel free to dive right in...

I like buying my stuff from Amazon.Com, and I hope that you do too. Throughout my site, I'll have links from movies, music, and books that I recommend, so that you can order quickly and easily through Amazon's incredible website.
(Okay, so I make a few pennies off the deal while you're there. Do you blame me? A guy's gotta eat, after all, and it's not like I'm stealing it from your pocket, eh? I really do think that Amazon does a great job with service, selection, and quality, so it's not all just puffery. Click on through. Enjoy.)
