I started out life as Linda Teppler in 1973. The year that Secretariat won the triple crown and pants for women became a "thing." I distinctly remember misinterpreting a teacher's instruction to "Tell a story about Thanksgiving" as "make up a story about Thanksgiving." So I wrote this fantastic tale about my father going out and shooting a turkey for dinner. We lived in the middle of a suburb, and I don't believe my father ever owned a gun. But as my imagination began to run wild, I decided I didn't mind and just let it run.
I did not become a punk rocker. I did not even shave my head until I turned 40. However, I did amass three whole milk crates full of dungeons and dragons characters. Many notebooks of stories about ponies, adopted puppies, fairies, and children who just would not, could not do what their parents told them to complemented those characters. After becoming a chef, a firefighter, and a gunners mate in the U.S. Navy, I finally settled down to do some serious daydreaming. And those daydreams have been patiently transcribing themselves down for other people's entertainment ever since.
