Some things you never wanted to know about me, but hey I'll tell you anyway:

I have been performing the role of grim reaper to all houseplants since birth.
I live in an vast abandoned mine under the Atlantic Ocean, entertained daily by small clay amphibians who are my only friends.
I like to watch slugs at night.
I have to stay hidden because I'm extremely frightening to look at, although I secretly have a heart of gold.
I enjoy fine wines and delectable banquets every night.
I suffer from chronic insomnia brought on by indigestion.
I am frequently hung-over.
I can't roll my tongue and am colorblind
I am extremely truthful.

I write pretty much anything; I like a challenge. Of course, it doesn't always work out but I learn my lesson and try again. Mainly I stick to fantasy, horror and science-fiction - anything leaning toward the weird. This is also my main reading, but I do like to read a lot of crime and thrillers too - which I don't tend to write so much.

Some favourite authors:

Michael Connolly

Raymond Feist

Scott Lynch

Karen Miller

Lawrence Block

Robin Hobb

William Nicholson

Garth Nix

etc etc etc

If you have any comments about anything I've written, positive or negative - I'd like to hear them. My skin is thicker than the wall of a crazy, hoarding, paranoiac Survivalist's bunker.

(It's true about the slugs - I even wrote a poem about them once...)

"I read upto number 6 of the Dresden Files so far. I recently bought 7 and 8 from my bookclub so possibly being in a bookclub makes me sadder! Lol. (apologies to anyone else who is in a bookclub!)"

"Yeah Amazon is a real killer sometimes. I have a wishlist that never seems to get any smaller! It's all worth it though as you get some really good bargains on books once they have been out a little while."

"Hah, well, if that's the way you picture it, I won't dissuade you. :)I do wish I had a setup like they have in Lost, though... :p"

"BTW, congrats on the featured story! That's quite a nice mystery you and Somebodysomeday have co-authored! Also thoroughly enjoyed your early chapters in the Species!"

"What? Front page? Blimey. What you wrote was good, but mine needed serious editing! Nice one though :-)"

"Well done on the Editor's Pick, my friend! That story has been on my shortlist to add to since it went up - it's a good one. Am sure it will get the attention it deserves now."

"No worries, Seldom. Mutual shred-ripping in the pipeline."

"Lol, Oh I know you my friend... I've been watching you for many years ;) have you seen the Truman show? haha"

"woohoo Spuds - gold star to you. You have passed the seldom sight exam, you may now apply for your pilot's license."

"Is that a chimp in a space capsule?"

"Can't play on my games any more. My joystick hand is all cramped up from the typing.:( (pitiful sobs etc)"

"Haha you're right behind me on the top commentors list; I've been kickin' around here for nearly three months and I've only got 21 comments on you! (Well, 22 now)You've been busy these last 8 days!"

"Fair play to ya Stan me ole mucker... fair play to ya."

"Ole Stan is putting a sock in it. 100 comments in 7 days! I am flabbergasted"

"Im unconvinced. You definitely look like a Stanley to me..."

"My name is not Stanley!I do not have a flat cap, or keep pigeons, or bet on the dogs or have false teeth. Hah!"

"Chimp in space. That's me. A poor innocent sent off into the unknown with nothing but a metal bucket thing and a suit that don't fit."

"That's right Rachel. He's called 'Stanley'."

"I'm pretty sure it's an ape in a metallic concession stand selling popcorn and coke at a sci-fi movie."

"I cannot, for the life of me, figure out what that picture on your profile is. It looks like either a giant robot otter eating a hippie, or someone with long hair in a contraption that is a combination of kayak and spacecraft.No, I don't get out much."

"Hey thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. Also so you know, I posted Chapter Two this morning. Feel free to tear it apart if it needs it."

"thanks! it's a fun poem. :-)"

"hey, love your addition to a poem about wafls, i added pancakes after you =D"

"commenting like mad here"

"Woohoo, I'm a hothead?!"

"Great, have found it. My bewilderment is unfortunately general and covers all aspects of my life."

"The Protagonize blog is here:http://blog.protagonize.com... and to cure your bewilderment, check this out:http://www.protagonize.com/help/default.aspx#icons"

"Blog? Which blog?again - bewildered etc lol"

"Rating system is going to be changing soon (see the blog), but most other 5-star systems allow you to rate your own posts, too."

"Isn't it a bit strange how you can rate your own stuff? Anyone else think that's odd?(going off to give all my posts a 5);-)"
