My interests are writing and playing guitar and ukulele. Some prefer the quiet me - the one that isn't playing the guitar and ukulele. Those people prefer me on the keyboard. But they don't always get what they want. Once in a while I like to rattle my playpen. Even if it means losing all my company. Sometimes you have to step out of your box and make some noise. It's good for the soul.

Right now, I have 174 stories in 14 collections on the site. My stories have been read 36803 times and 33 of my stories have been cherry picked
