For the record, I hate these things. You're supposed to be witty and intriguing enough to draw in your fellow authors/readers/literary addicts, so they will desire to learn more. I'm afraid my witticism account has been depleted as of late. Perhaps it may be that there is a strong positive correlation between it and my banking account. It seems good humor is often tied to good finance.

Footnotes of my life read as follows:

I'm college educated several times over, thus I have no money (student loans, you see). Do we see my humor wavering? I've a background in business, music, cats, martial arts, horses, writing... never mind. Were I to hit only the highlights, I'd still have too much to write. Jack of all trades, Master of none. Or would that be 'Jane'?

Though initially drug kicking and proverbially screaming (not the kicking - that was quite literal), my dear friend Pamela introduced me to the world of Harry Potter, and since then I've become a marrow-infested fanatic (read: bone-deep). Did I mention I've a dry sense of humor? Such as it is, it goes well with my love of LOTR. I'm a patron of the adventurous arts.

If you've really a further interest in my most eclectic yet ever-so-humble life, e-mail me at sonofarathorn@bigfoot.com . Otherwise, I'll bore you no more.

Without further adieu (or ado) -

On with the show...
