I suppose that with the reputation the Internet's got for hairy ass men with large beer bellies pretending to be others, I shouldn't be too surprised at the amount of times I'm asked this question.
The fact is however that I am female.
Of course, I can't prove this to you so you can either believe me or not.

This question is much harder to answer than you would think. I first started to write for my own enjoyment as soon as I bought my first computer and got to grips with the word processor. I had made a few abortive attempts before with both a typewriter and also a pen and paper but it was a slow laborious job.
The word processor made it so much easier and, for a while, I was happy writing in secret for myself. The inevitable happened of course and I printed out one of my stories and left it lying around. One of my girlfriends found it and commented that she liked it. Thankfully I hadn't put my name on the story and it took me a couple of months to confess to her that I had written it..
Later, over a glass of wine, (Okay, it was more like a couple of bottles of wine) that she persuaded me to find a story site on the Internet and post the story. The feedback I got was very positive and that's why I still write today.

Mostly imagination.

I enjoy writing the stories but I also have business commitments and a social life. Sometimes, it can be hard balancing all three and the time I have left to write the stories suffers. I can only ask you to be patient.

No. I won't post any pictures, either clothed or naked onto the Internet. A girl has to maintain an air of mystery about her.

No I'm afraid not. If I started that, I would spend the rest of my life doing it. Now that this site on ASSTR is up and running, all my stories will be posted here and available for all to read or download.
