The Witch and the Rose by Trae Dorn - on sale now!

Who is Trae?

My name is Trae, and this is my life.

I'm your average person in their forties - I was born in Chicago, raised in Milwaukee, and have spent most of my adult life in Eau Claire, WI where I live with my wife Crysta -- though there was a seven year period where we lived in Lafayette, IN in the middle too.

 There are a lot of things about me which I don't always mention at first. It may not be immediately obvious, but I'm genderqueer. My pronouns can be a complicated topic, so if you don't know me that well "they/them" is always a safe bet.

I'm a Wiccan witch, and have been practicing since the mid-nineties. Specifically I'm a eclectic solitary Wiccan who follows a simplist path heavily influenced by animism. So yeah, when I yell at the printer there is a little part of me afraid I'll hurt its feelings.

I've spent a good chunk of my life dedicated to fandom conventions, having cofounded Wisconsin's longest running Anime Con (No Brand Con). I took a chunk of time off from that con (while I was in Indiana), but I am currently back on staff doing... stuff. I also write and draw comics - most notably the webcomics UnCONventional (which ended in 2019) and The Chronicles of Crosarth (which is on "hiatus" until I can get my shit back together). Besides that, I've maintained a blog for over a decade of varying quality, and I record original music on a semi-regular basis under the name Lt. Snorkel.

I also used to have a band, Happy Wednesday, but it's hard to keep that sort of thing together when almost all the members move to different cities.

I run The Nerd & Tie Podcast Network which I co-created with some friends of mine. It started out geek and convention podcast, became a news site, and now is a full blown network with multiple shows on multiple topics (we also branched out and ran a convention one time). I'm proud of what we've built there. Besides the titular Nerd & Tie Podcast, I also appear on the shows "BS-Free Witchcraft," "Stormwood & Associates" (an actual play show), and the daily "On This Day With Trae" -- though that last one I recorded all the episodes in like 2014 or so.

 I have a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire, where I majored in Political Science (with a minor in Web Development and Design). I don't actually use said degree ever, but it's always nice to have a piece of paper. I currently telecommute for a fairly large corporation, but you'll never see me name it on my site... because I have strong opinions, and they may not want to be associated with them.

I'm a Democrat, relatively tall, a bit overweight, usually have a beard, and my hair is thinning in the back. That's pretty much the whole story.
