The Nitty Gritty:

Er. Well, I was born in the wagon of a travellin' show, my mama had to dance for the money they'd throw.  Papa'd do whatever he could -  No, wait, that's an old Cher song.

Um.  Okay, details.

I'm a bisexual atheist.  I have four tattoos and a small collection of piercings, none of which can be seen in office clothing (save the ear piercings, of course).  I'm a leo.

I wrote my first fan fic at the tender age of six - a rare fic if ever there was one - a short action/adventure based on the Trixie Belden novels.  My mother wasn't too impressed - "why don't you think of your own characters?"  And so it was another ten years before my next attempt, which, if I have my way, no living being will ever read.  Ever.  Put it this way:  Fraser/ofc, Mary Sue, eat your heart out.

I crunch numbers for a living and write smut for fun.

I was married almost 11 months to someone I spent the last five years with, and have been separated for the last month and a half. My husband is apparently not ready to be a father (wish he'd thought of that fifteen months ago).
