"An admittedly crazy person, mother and wife in a lesbian marriage, I am a reclusive otaku-loving, recovering shut-in who mostly interacts with people virtually. I was born to an Ojibwe mother in California in 1977. I've worked as a teacher, Subway Sandwich Mascot, part time campaign manager, and digital illustrator. I live with my wife, and my preschool-aged son in Denver Colorado. I consider San Francisco and Tokyo to be my home towns, despite never having been to Japan.I'm not Asian, but I study Japanese Culture, Politics, and Nationalism in my spare time, when not hiding from my shadow or desperately trying to earn money for the boy's eventual college misadventures. Before my son was born, I was an avid MMO gamer, anime/manga fan, and novelist. Now all I want is sleep. And french toast."
