Editor Roddy "Sam" Kinnison is a freelance writer, and is responsible for data import, sync, and systems management for CitizenWire. Based out of Oklahoma, Sam writes under several names, and is a huge fan of singer Alison Moyet. He wanted to be a comic book artist when he was younger, but was too lazy to get really good at it, and found he'd rather write stories than illustrate them. He is fully self-taught with no formal training in writing or copy-editing beyond the wonderful resources found at every public library in the USA. He is not afraid to admit he voted for Obama.
