About Me

I used to have an account under a different name, and that's a story that's entirely too long (but if you recognize the photograph, then hooray for you! in an entirely non-sarcastic tone). I missed Fictionaut because it's such a great service, so I've come back.

Basically, I radiate children so I can pay the bills. The joke is that I do this until I write the best seller. The punchline of all of this is that I've never attempted to get published.

In what little free time I have, I knit, crochet, photograph, cause numerous scenes, and laugh at Coast to Coast AM. I have a silly photography/writing project called Cthulhu and Me. I used to be a vocalist in a punk band, and I miss those days. Unfortunately, punk rock doesn't exist in Pittsburgh anymore.

Why do you write?

According to my father, I was coming up with stories shortly after I learned how to speak. I learned to read and write when I was three, so I literally can imagine what life would be like without writing. It's more of a bodily process and less of a hobby.

Then again, I was named after Lord Byron, so maybe that's why.

Any favorite authors? Books?

Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, Lord Byron, H.P. Lovecraft, Franz Kafka, Mervyn Peake, Roger Zelazny
