I'm older than 16. Thankfully and sadly.

Family comes first. Then comes fiction.

I curse in two languages and make no apologies for it in either.

I'm an obsessive collector. Of shoes. I realize it's an addiction and am taking injections for it.

I take time to write each chapter; in everything else I'm compulsive to a fault.
