I was raised on the Southern Gulf Coast of the United States. Cats, foxes and flowers are a feast for the eyes. Photography, art, music, Southern Gothic writers, Golden Age science fiction and Silver Age comic books are some of my interests.

As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

Murphy: "The game is clear. We can see it. They're not even hiding it. There is not a rule of law anymore. There is one set of law for people who are loyal to Donald Trump, and there is one set of law for people who care criticize him. That is not democracy."

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.
