Salutations!

I consider myself furry if you're defining "furry" as "enjoying art, stories, and other media involving anthropomorphic animal characters." If your definition involves other requirements or assumptions, I may or may not match up. >^_^<

I write fantasy and soft science fiction, often featuring anthropomorphic characters, and my stories have appeared in various publications both in the furry fandom and outside it, including Marion Zimmer Bradley's Fantasy Magazine; Strange Horizons; Black Static; New Fables; Heat; X; both volumes of Different Worlds, Different Skins; Bewere the Night; Trick or Treat; PULP!; An Anthropomorphic Century; and several episodes of the Anthro Dreams podcast. In addition to some self-published non-furry work, I have two books available from furry publishers: the medieval fantasy By Sword and Star (Anthro Dreams, 2012) and the tribal coming-of-age fantasy Huntress (FurPlanet, 2015).

I've published poetry as well, though most of that was in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and I occasionally do visual art in traditional media as a hobby.

I'm also a member and former president (2014-2016) of the Furry Writers' Guild. Their website can be found here.

As far as the personal stuff goes, I'm female, straight, and happily married for 24 years and counting. >^_^<
