Occasionally does duty as a wise old mother elf in leather.
My tastes lean towards "hard" science fiction first and foremost, but I am also quite fond of "soft" science fiction, horror, mystery and fantasy - roughly in that order of enjoyment. I do not delineate between media tie-in works and original fiction; to me, a story is a story is a story.

"In Whose Pages May Be Found A Sylph Inviolate, Kippers Galore, The Hunting Of The Tarq, Richard Feynman On A Good Day, A Jam Session With John Coltrane, H.P. Lovecraft, And Edward Lear, Some Snippets Of Common Sense, Moon Magic, And Cats Of All Kinds In A Perpetual State Of Brownian Motion.
" 'My Angles Are Many/My Sides Are Not Few'. Thus spake Norton Juster's Dodecahedron. I share his dilemma...I have more interests than could possibly fit upon a single Web Page, so I'll keep it simple on this outing. I am a devotee of raunchy blues guitar and of Appalachian dulcimers, of pipe organs, Fairlights, Stratocasters and Washburns, steel drums, bodhrans and harpsichords. I keep ghostly company with an elegant white longfurred odd-eyed feline rogue and corporeal company with a dark and handsome human comic book dealer who doubles amazingly well as an engineer. I am a kitchen witch, a high-end audiophile, a journeyman Mathemagician, and a children's book expert. I am frequently to be found immersed in my books on astronomy, folklore and mythology, or else my two-volume set of ALL THE WORDS by Monty Python. I am an iron gargoyle in temperament, dyspeptic, sarcastic, and vain. But I have been moved to tears on occasion [just don't tell anyone...I have a reputation to uphold, after all] by the perfect image or written word or phrase of music."
