My Bio

Canadian born, but raised in deepest, darkest Surrey. Earning a living in Scotland since 1990. I worked in zoology and conservation for many years, but these days I'm a music teacher and a writer, and I'm loving it.


I started scribbling fiction in 2011, my first creative writing since leaving school many years before. I soon caught the writing bug, and now I write original short stories as well as fics for the How to Train Your Dragon fandom. Some of my stories have been published; you can find them in ROAR v.10, Wolves.gay, Paw-ly Love, Werewolves Versus The Circus, and Werewolves Versus Suburbia.


Honest, constructive criticism is always welcome – it helps me to improve. So please, if you're minded to leave a comment, don't hold back.


I love things that fly, and 'anhedral' is a reference from aircraft design. I blame my engineer father, who adored planes like nothing else, and took me to far too many airshows as a child.

Okey dokey, the very wonderful ~FjordMustang (https://www.deviantart.com/fjordmustang) threw out a great little list of questions for anyone to have a go at. I've had some fun in trying to answer them! 1.  What is your favorite type of sandwich that you make yourself? Cheese and pickle between 2 big slabs of wholemeal bread. If it's Isle of Mull cheddar, which has an incredibly rich and smokey flavour, so much the better. This food puts me in mind of a balmy, midge-free English summer, a pub lunch, a pint of real ale. Yup, I was brought up in deepest Surrey, though it feels like a foreign country when I visit now. 2.  What is your favorite nature place (park, etc.)  near wher

Thanks for the birthday wishes!  Hope all is well with you and your lady!
I give you a Llama! Cause why shouldn't I?
Llamas are awesome, so don't ask my "why?"
My watchword is simple - Make Peace, Love & Art!
That's what I wish you from depths of my heart!
Because of this stories which I've just seen,
I sent rhyming greetings - you see it on screen.
Warm greetings from Poland, where dragons still live;
You can find them too, if you'll just believe!
Oh my gosh, thank you for the watch!  ;u;  :tighthug:
Thanks for the watch David :)
and if you're interested still, I updated To Be God Touched recently :)
Thank you A LOT for the watch!! :huggle:
Here ya go... hope you like it. I had finished reading a graphic novel about Abinaki Indian Mythology, so that affected this drawing and the landscape... hope you like it even if I wished I could do it better... sorry for taking longer than I wanted for the drawing. [link]
