About Me


My new site: www.KageAlan.com!!! It's up, running and recently updated as of 7/17/08.
"I aim to misbehave." (Malcolm Reynolds, "Serenity")
Let's start at the beginning. I was born in June of 1970, which makes me a Gemini. I'm also a Dog according to the Chinese Zodiac, but I do NOT lick my own...you know. Once you hit 30, you risk severe back injuries trying...not that I've tried...recently.
I'm 6 feet tall, 170lbs (been hitting the gym, thank you, not gaining arbitrary weight), dark blonde hair and have slightly bloodshot blue eyes. I'm college educated and suffer from multiple sarcasms. Take that where you will. I have. Don't be shy.
I'm also involved relationship with someone pretty spectacular. You think you're the man of my dreams? Please, beyotch. I watch "Friday The 13th" to relax. My guy is one in a lifetime and I can't imagine existence without him. It's like marriage...only not because we're not allowed in Michigan. Oops. I typed that out loud, didn't I?
I'm painfully shy and just love when somebody starts up a conversation with me. Yeah, right. I live near Detroit. We eat everybody else for breakfast. (Conversation is always welcome, though.)
I'm a writer through and through, which means trouble follows me wherever I go. So far I've completed 3 novels (the 3rd one has just been published) and I'm working on my 4th. You know you're a real life author when you see your book on Amazon.com. lol My book has even been used in a course at Grand Valley State University.
Books:
1) Andy Stevenson Vs. the Lord of the Loins (http://www.amazon.com/Andy-Stevenson-vs-Lord-Loins/dp/19348 41005/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1216321730 &sr=8-1)
2) A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To My Sexual Orientation (http://www.amazon.com/Funny-Thing-Happened-Sexual-Orientati on/dp/1934135917/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid =1216321730&sr=8-3)
3) Honor Unbound (written under a different name) (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0761829261/qid=1151957918/ sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-8328833-9999167?s=books&v=glance&a mp;n=283155)
I enjoy buying DVDs, going to concerts, buying DVDs, hanging out with friends, buying DVDs, traveling overseas (and buying DVDs there) and making fun of people who work at Blockbuster. I can't really pinpoint an absolute favorite hobby or interest, though.
