Howdy folks! I'm Jayme, in New Braunfels (which is between San Antonio and Austin for you non-Texans). The Wife and I kind of stumbled into the whole tiki thing in recent years following the purchase of our current home, which came with a pool, palm trees and a patio area that just begged for a tiki bar. So I built one this summer (it needs a few finishing touches before I share here). Checking out the other Home Tiki threads here have inspired us, and plans are afoot. And to think that we started this before we even knew nouveau tiki was even a thing!

The day job is media relations, but I'm a writer by inclination. I focus mostly on genre--science fiction, fantasy, etc.--but published a non-fiction history of the infamous Chicken Ranch brothel earlier this year. Go figure. Other interests of mine include homebrew, astronomy, photography and orchard stuff. I also have a thing for passiflora, which should dovetail nicely with tiki.
