Hi Everyone,

My lovely friend, the talented, tremendous author Rick R. Reed posted a blog yesterday with one of those ubiquitous surveys and of course, it was brilliant because it was all about him. Rick is great. I thought, hey, I could do that! So I stole his idea. Mind you, I come from the land Down Under and things such as petty theft got my people there in the first place, so I am sure Rick will understand that as an Australian and as a writer, nothing is sacred. So stand back. Here are some things you may wish you never knew about me.
