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 that I do wear a tie to work.

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. Plus emotions can run so strong and you are more likely to give in and go for something.

Ok, so what is the deal with all the JTT stuff?

Ok, don't laugh. If I were that age again, he's my ideal. Yes, I know it's nothing more than a pipe dream, but fantasy is food for the soul. Those of you that watch for that kind of stuff will note his description appears quite often. Some think that Greg in Long Day is him, and they're partly right.

Who was Greg in Long Day modeled after?

The coffeeboy. Ok, the story is I went to see my friend Tim on Long Island, I hadn't been out but a few months and I flipped for the boy behind the counter at Starbucks. He was a cross between JTT and Val Kilmer. If you can't picture it, I'll just tell you it was a beautiful sight. And yes, his name was Greg. How did I find that out? Tim is an excellent gatherer of information.

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 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 in Long Day modeled after?

Good question. Actually, it's me. Next Question.

You have mentioned a Boyfriend...

Yes, it's true. Billy and I have been dating for over three years now. We started the fifth of December 2000. We do live together, and he takes good care of me. God knows I need looking after.

You mentioned that the Chris Taylor Character was real, what does he look like?

I'd post his pic, but he'd probably kill me. Well, maybe not. But why chance it? Well, I'll tell you that he cleans up well. He is about 5'10" or so, solidly built from his football playing. He still has the mischevious smile that he did when he was 12.

Why do you take so long between chapters?

Well, between a full time job, full time boyfriend and whatnot, I tend to fall behind in my writing as well as reading. So it's nothing personal, and these things come and go. Like Long Day finally got off the ground at work one day, wrote 3/4 of it at my desk.

What's with the Submarines in Begin Anew?

Well, I was stationed on a Ballistic Missle Submarine while in the Navy, so you write what you know. You know?
