In general, I scribble down what comes to mind.
I read a lot and employ a love of history, psychology and anthropological meaning in my attempts at comedy sketch writing and private fiction projects.
Furthermore, as an amateur Victorianist with an academic background in psychology (and parapsychology), I enjoy writing reflective commentary on taboo, unusual, misrepresented and avant-garde subjects.
I write burlesques for performance and write/direct stage shows for Ministry of Burlesque and it's performers.
I also moonlight as the bawdy classical burlesquer, Kittie Klaw.
