Well, I suppose I'm a bit overdue for this. (To put it mildly!)

I live in Portland Oregon, currently on disability owing to contracting cancer three years ago. As to my age, let's just say that it's somewhere between 60...and death!

I've been writing anthropomorphic fiction since 1999 in once capacity or another.

My first writing excursion was for a Yahoo Group known as Furry City, a combination of an RPG and a Writer's Circle. About six months after it came online, I became the group's the moderator following the departure of Furry City's creator.

Furry City was set in a fictional town in Southern California (Califurnia)called Los Gatos, actually more like the city in the film Sing! than Zootopia--except that like Zootopia, the only residents were mammals. (All birds, reptiles, etc. were either pets, or food. No humans either.)

After leaving Furry City I began penning stories for the Spontoon Island website. (Google it) and later returned to writing for Furry City when it enjoyed a brief revival.

I currently serve an the staff of the Zootopia News Network website, working to help develop the Art of the Day projects.

My Zootopia fanfic, The Fire Triangle currently remains my one and only writing project. (One thing I learned from my stint at Furry City is that I don't do well writing multiple stories at once.) And after a somewhat rocky start I flatter myself that it's finally beginning to catch on.

On a final note, I would like to take this opportunity to extend my thanks to everyone who has taken a look at my humble scrivenings. And and extra big thanks goes out to those who've taken the time to post reviews and/or become followers.

Your most humble servant
