I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Owner of Mysterious Galaxy , as well as Events Coordinator, Newsletter Editor, and Publicist.
Passionate reader of books of martians, murder, magic and mayhem and more.

Please Note: myspace is not so much my friend.
Really.
Don't know if it's just the combo of my dial-up and ISP connections, or something I did karmically, or what, but my access is limited and wonky. I appreciate all friend requests, but if I can't open your page, I probably won't accept your request. And when I do accept, I may not be able to follow etiquette with a "Thanks for the add," if your page is complex enough to time-out my internet connection. Please keep this in mind if you don't get the response you were anticipating from me. :)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Sheri Tepper
Sandra Boynton
Jim Cummings
Vicki Pettersson ... again!
