I come from an average family, parents who are together after twenty-seven years; the two children and a dog senario. I am the oldest of the two, although my brother has passed the age of majority. I was raised with a Lebanese heratige; my father was adopted at birth by a Lebanese family. Most people think I am nuts when I tell them I am Lebanese, since I am one of the palest white people, have red hair and blue eyes. *smiles* I had a cocker spaniel growing up, who passed away several years ago at the age of fourteen.

I have been married for over eight years. I am polyamorous, submissive bisexual, but currently it is just the hubby and me. I am also pagan and pro-choice all the way. No, we have no children yet (and currently do not have any plans on having any), but I have many pets. I believe the term is called "displacement." I paint, cook, garden, sew, read, clean, watch TV, craft, and anything else I can get my hands on.

I write my own original fiction now. Playing in other authors' backyards became boring for me. I have one completed novella which I am trying to expand into a full-length novel, as well as some short story ideas. All of them are gay erotica, usually with dark themes.

Our dear boy rests in peace.

Tribute To A Best Friend

Sunlight streams through window pane
unto a spot on the floor...
then I remember,
it's where you used to lie,
but now you are no more.
Our feet walk down a hall of carpet,
and muted echoes sound...
then I remember,
It's where your paws would joyously abound.
A voice is heard along the road,
and up beyond the hill,
then I remember it can't be yours...
your golden voice is still.
But I'll take that vacant spot of floor
and empty muted hall
and lay them with the absent voice
and unused dish along the wall.
I'll wrap these treasured memorials
in a blanket of my love
and keep them for my best friend
until we meet above.
