A thirty-something writer from an island in the north Atlantic. A playwright, autumn person, academic, and all-around odd bird with a taste for theatre, history, literature, and all things slightly uncanny. Feel free to snoop around and drop me a line if you like – I’m quiet but I don’t bite. My Ko-fi Page I've gone by several other urls - see my 'About the Writer' for the most frequently used ones.

#Can't believe I missed John Brown day#John Brown#I remember my 8th grade history teacher doing a WHOLE lesson on him#and then we had to like#put together skits based in the time period#and my group had a running bit#where we just did historical Whose Line#and anyway we did a green screen sketch where John Brown at Harper Ferry was what was happening in the background#it was WILD
