Bio
I share my house with 2 sighthounds (Az the oldie lurcher and Brythen the young silly lurcher) and 6 cats, including 2 Very Hairy Bears, a Tortie Princess, a humble tabby, and 2 mad Bungles(Bengals). Oh, and Philmophlegm. I am an Oldies Club dog rescue helper-outer and sometime fosterer of rescue dogs. Probably post too many photos of dogs & walks I've taken with them.

I have a largish wildish Cornish garden which I intermittently attack with edged weapons and which is a source of joy and despair. My kind of gardening involves hacking wildly at the encroaching jungle, then making a lot of compost.

Read books in most genres like some sort of crazed reading-monster and will cheerfully chat about them. Currently obsessed with Roman & post-Roman Britain.

I will sometimes post my drawings or paintings - often book-inspired in some way. They often aren't very good, but I usually put them behind a cut so as to protect the unprepared.

I recently found myself writing some fanfictions based on some of Rosemary Sutcliff's historical novels (and to a lesser extent, the recent film 'The Eagle'). You can find those here at AO3 though I usually post a copy on my Livejournal too.

My day job is doing web stuff. I used to do a lot of search engine promotion, nowadays I tend to the more techie end of the spectrum though I still have an interest in online marketing. Oh, and I take a twisted delight in spam.
