I'm a middle-aged grandmother who has wanted to be Spider-man when I grow up ever since I was able to read. At this point, I don't think I'm going to grow up, so I guess I won't ever sling any webs either.

When not churning out dull fanfic, I write humor, fantasy, a little bit of mystery, the occasional ghost story (I don't like to read 'em but they're easy to write), and attempts at romance.

My husband has an African Grey parrot who turns up in a lot of my stories. Probably because he tends to be pulling on my hair as I type (the parrot, not the beloved).

I was always a Spidey purist, then in my late 40's read some Daredevil and X-Men and it's been downhill from there. grin

I'm basically a boring stick in the mud with little imagination. But I do have a fetching sense of humor and, somewhere deep in my egotistical being, a bit of a heart.
