Strange and reclusive writer of science fiction, fantasy, horror and other strangenesses.  Intensely private.  Rumoured to be a keeper of mutant cats.  In real life, may be an aboriginal rights lawyer crusading on behalf of native peoples in Canada.  Previous occupations include school teacher, journalist, columnist, mechanic, carpenter, projectionist and jack of all trades at a drive in movie theatre.  Probably safe to be around, but why take chances?
