I'm a disabled person, currently an academic, and married with cats. At the moment I primarily write poetry and fanfic (short stories), though I'd like to try writing original fiction. I've also written a fair bit of non-fiction, including for the Guardian, though I've only recently started to foray into fiction. Perhaps I should say, recently started *again* - as a child and teen I cranked out pages and pages of short stories on my Amiga computer. Here's to hitting 40 and having a midlife crisis that resulted in the urge to write returning. Long may it continue!
