I was born in Queens NY, then on to Florida, Arizona, the United Kingdom, Michigan, and Northern California ... with diversions along the way. My interest in fanfic writing was unleashed by a series of comics jointly released by Marvel and DC entitled 'Amalgam,' which ... amalgamated various of their characters. As objectively dire as the comics were, they provided a whole background of obscure characters whose details and careers were never filled in, and I found it an entertaining project to fill in some of those gaps. I've since branched off into telling stories set in the DC and Marvel universes formally, focusing on obscure characters from the 1940's, and alternate Earths.

My favorite comics character is probably Superman, although I almost never write about him directly; I prefer to use him as a contrast to other characters, or as an iconic figure representing classical heroism.

I enjoy listening to free jazz and 80's punk/new wave, and various members of the worldwide ska community. My favorite mid-afternoon snack is mixed nuts, due to my hypoglycemia, and they are only slightly metaphoric for my mental state.

My real world ambitions are to get a real job, and to finish a graphic novel script. And when I ain't writin' or readin' comics, I dote on my daughter.
