I'm a fan of many things, most of them being in and around the fields of animation and children's literature, with particular emphasis on titles that include those cute, talking, anthropomorphic animals that are now affectionately referred to as furries. I also like many different types of music and collecting, and I like to share these things in my journal, while my personal life rarely offers much to write about anymore.

In my spare time I write stories. Some say I'm kind of good at it, though I don't have a lot of confidence in my talents. Anthropomorphic fantasy is my main writing focus. It's kind of like writing a cartoon soap opera for older readers. Lots of unexplored territory to play with, and it's fun besides.

My journal is mainly a fun place where I display the things I collect, and maybe say a thing or two about the progress of my writing once in a while. Please subscribe if you enjoy the kinds of things you see in my interest list near the bottom of the page, or if you’ve read my work and want to follow my progress.

I'm also a DJ at Club Xanadu on Second Life. On Second Life I've been reincarnated as a bunny. I'm married to a sweet coyote. We have a sweet little home called The Old Homestead on Rainbow Wood Island. Drop by the island or Xanadu and hang out with us any time you're in world.

Blanket explanation of why I friend people, in case you're wondering why I friended you without saying anything. I friend people either because they seem to have a lot of interests in common with me and I'd like to let them know I'm out here. Or because they seem really interesting, cute or entertaining, and I think I would really enjoy seeing them on my friends page.

Why I usually don't say anything, even if there's a note to "Comment to be added." Basically I’m shy - really shy about certain things, one of which is introducing myself. I may sit there for two hours agonizing over what to say, even if all that is required is "Hi. I like you. Please add me." This is very stressful for me. So usually I just friend people and hope they'll come here and like me. This is my way of getting past my unfortunate shyness problem. And I'm usually fine with communication once the ice is broken in this way.

My health is generally poor. I suffer from sleep apnea, headaches, anxiety and have recently had a stroke. I get by and try to maintain a pleasant disposition in spite of these problems, but I need to avoid anxiety producing drama and controversy. Arguments and debates tend to wipe me out rather quickly since the stroke. So, I don't often chime in on the controversy of the day on LJ anymore.

Controversies that involve Furry Fandom are particularly stressful for me, because my life and work are all tied up in it. I'm no longer willing to debate with anyone about how it is this or it isn't that. My journal and my writings are all the demonstration anyone should need of what Furry means to me. So, if you share my interests and want to enjoy them in a drama free environment, you're in the right place.

I write this.



The Current Blurb For Spectral Shadows.

Overall Series: Ongoing science fiction fantasy soap opera involving time traveling anthropomorphic animal characters exploring the odd and often controversial social situations that exist on various planets.

Currently Active Serial, "The Planet Of Genetic Misadventure": The planet Cygnus, once entirely devastated by genetic warfare, has re-evolved a species of half animal people who live in the shadow of the elder race of humans, about whom their understanding is incomplete and often distorted, resulting in some rather odd-ball religions and social habits, such as the town of Suburbia which based its way of life on black & white era TV shows, thinking the family values they exemplified to be representative of humanities highest achievement. Other towns have adopted religions based on everything from fairytale concepts to gangster movies to feline totalitarianism.

Main protagonist Christine time travels from the far distant past to explore the many strange interpretations of her own society that exist in this sometimes quirky but often beautiful new world, while much controversy, mayhem and mystery arises during her visit.


I live here.





A lifetime of collecting has resulted in this organized mess of animated movie videos, stuffed animals, anime collectibles, 80’s cartoon memorabilia, funny animal comic books, old time radio, video games, rock music and children‘s records.

Once upon a time I used to have a store where I bought, sold and traded this stuff. I also used to set up at comic shows and anime conventions. A nasty car accident in the late 90’s put an end to all that. I’m now permanently disabled, but continue collecting and sharing purely as a hobby.
