tepid sponge bathhide bio
 Author has written 44 stories for Harry Potter, Sandman, Get Backers, Sherlock, Cthulhu Mythos, and Mrs. Pollifax Mysteries. Hello. The two most important things that I think you have to know about me are that I wear glasses and I write. Despite all evidence to the contrary, I still believe that Sirius Black is alive and well. For that matter, I refuse to believe that that was Book 7, and am still waiting for the real thing to come out (though I'm getting more resigned to the fact of it as time goes by). And I have recently discovered the BBC's Sherlock and Doctor Who, and after you do that there's just no going back, is there? Also, I think I am guilty of wanton cruelty to the common comma. Tales and dreams are the shadow-truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes, and forgot. --Neil Gaiman, A Midsummer Night's Dream |
