Author bio:
Well, what would you like to know? I suppose the interesting parts of my bio are the travelling parts. I have spent almost 10% of my life teaching 'the Engrishee' in South Korea. Besides that, I have been to London a few times. And tons and tons of international airports - which are all pretty boring once you have figured out where your next gate is. I move a lot. I have moved 19 in 15 years. This means I am amazing at packing - although I hate it with the passion of a thousand Johnny Depp fans. It also means that I seem to have a serious case of itchy feet, which cannot be cured with clean socks...
I am a Rhodent, a ram (Aries), and have literally been the PE Penguin way back in the days before cell phones existed (at least for us non-Bill Gatsey people). My other degree is a B.RA (Bachelor of Recreational Arts) with majors in pool and procrastination. I have a minor coffee addiction, and am yet to be able answer accurately as to how many cups I drink a day. My answer is usually, 'as many as I can'.
My dream is to be a published novelist, and since we are talking about dreams, I would like to make even half of what JK Rowling did! :D

He is there because I could never be that mean as to give someone that book.)
