I live in Tucson, Arizona, where I'm a freelance writer and editor. I'm the former editor of Colorez!, southern Arizona's late, lamented GLBTS newsmagazine. I've also had my writing or photography appear in a few other local papers, including the Desert Times, Saguaro News, Pima College's Aztec Press, and the Tucson Citizen.

My apartment in northwest Tucson is shared with a kitty cat named Kykotsmovi, or Kyko for short.

I was born in California and lived most of my life there. From 1995 to 2005, I was co-owner of Idyll Mountain Internet, a web design company providing web services for small businesses and community groups. I was also on the board of the HTML Writers Guild for a number of years, and saw it grow into a large and successful organization, before ultimately merging with another group of web developers. My focus was teaching web developers how to create web sites which are accessible by people with disabilities. I've also contributed to several books on web design, including writing both editions of Teach Yourself CSS in 24 Hours.

In my spare time, I take photographs, create roleplaying story games, read comics, bicycle, and play World of Warcraft. I usually take classes part-time at Pima Community College, too.

In 2006, I was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder, but my symptoms go back throughout my whole life. The diagnosis explains why I've had many problems all my life, including depression and problems at school and work. It's been difficult come to terms with a cognitive disability that went unrecognized for so many years, I'm happier now, because I know what's wrong, and it can be managed.

I identify as genderqueer, transgender, queer, and bisexual. As of mid-2008, I'm single. I'm blonde, a progressive Christian, liberal, and white, with English, Scottish and German ancestry.
