Everything you never wanted to know can be found here! Actually these questions get asked a few times, and so they land here eventually. If there is something else you'd like to know, well ask. I change this stuff on occasion so It'll get here eventually. Please note at the bottom the proof that I do wear a tie to work, as well as nap.

Why do you write about High School characters?

I think, more than anything, it's the time in my life I would most like to have as a 'do over'. You know, like when you screw up a game or something? It was lost time when I wasn't myself and it took a long time to get here. Also emotions seem so much stronger when you experience them for the first time.

Ok, so what is the deal with the long waits between chapters or stories?

A number of reasons. At first it was some unfortunate personal events, that I have shared with my readers; my father passing, my stepfather passing and my beloved beagle, Tristan, passing. I also got addicted to World of Warcraft. Whoo boy did I get addicted. I now am making more time for the other things I enjoy, inlcuding restoring Telechron Clocks.

Will you ever finish some of the stories you abandoned?

The short answer is yes. It will take some time to get back in the groove of the characters and the feel of the stories, but yes I plan to finish them.

How did you come up with the name Dabeagle?

Ok, well it's like this. In 1986 the Chicago Bears were huge, and called dabears by their fans, later it was basketball and dabulls. A friend of mine used the screen name damayer, his last name being Mayer. I countered with dabeagle, which is from my beagle, Tristan.

Who is Jake?

The only real Jake I ever knew was Jake Bailey, in grade school. I've always been affected by names, certain ones strike me very well, and Jake is one. Chris of course, is another.

You have mentioned a Boyfriend...

Can you call a man you have lived with for 8 years a boy anymore? Well, I suppose I could, since he gets his knees dirty with his new hobby... gardening.

What is the future of the site?

I plan to be more active, and to find a best friend who understands HTML, who is in my time zone so I can pick their brain (read get them to do it for me) in order to update regularly. I also have well planned ideas for a story set in the Star Trek universe as well as one with a definite magical edge. Also, one other HS timeframed story is cooking.
