Hello. Who am I? I am multitudes. In the real world, I was once a foot and ankle surgeon until an injury derailed my life. Now I'm a biology professor training the next generation of health care professionals. I'm also a published author, mostly right now LGBT romance but it's something I'm fazing out of. (the romance that is. I was never that gung-ho with it and I feel like I've done most of what I can there). I hope to be writing urban fantasy/SF/F and some steampunk, some adult, some YA in the future.

I've been active in fandoms since the 1970s (briefly) and got into it full bore in the 80s and I've never looked back. I am very much a geek, the queen of them according to my students who know where to find me by my geeked out office. I'm a cosplayer and active in the steampunk world.

I love to hike and travel and most of my pictures will be of places I've been.

I love animals, cats especially, gardening and music. Oh do I love music. I'm a good cook but only a beginning baker. I don't have the patience.


Reading materials - mystery, urban fantasy, fantasy and SF are my favorites, horror's good too (notice the one I'm writing in doesn't even make the cut. Sigh)

Fandoms: My most active and newest is Prodigal Son. In a year I wrote over 100 stories, three of which are novel length (I have no idea how!), my other biggest ones are Buffy the Vampire Slayer -Angel the series and Fullmetal Alchemist. Others (which don't seem to plot bunny me as much) include Lucifer, The X-Files, Star Trek (all of them and literally this is my FIRST fandom but for some reason I never get long stories from it), Blue Exorcist, Vinland Saga, Saiyuki and well a literal host of anime/manga.

I'm open to questions so feel free to ask. Pull up a seat and stay awhile.
