I suppose I shall tell you about myself as I go along. I was born overseas, in Indonesia. There are two things I have trouble keeping an exact count of: number of trans-Pacific flights and number of near-death experiences.

Both have shaped me. I write inevitably from my own little telescope on the universe, which is plugged in (to borrow and bowdlerize Douglas Adams for a moment) to a piece of fairy cake which is a queer, disabled, white, masculine body. This sugars my perception of reality, and you should consider yourself suitably warned.

Also, this blog contains (or will contain)…lots of dark things. Death. Likely disease. Perhaps some monsters. Rape (although I shall try to let you know about that one in advance if it comes up). This blog, in short, is for people who can read grown-up things but prefer to keep a childhood imagination intact.

Have fun, and good luck swimming in the darkness. Remember, you won’t see it coming.
