Writer. Editor. Dog rescuer. Portugal dweller. Surprisingly chipper 50-something. Just happy to be here, really. ❤️

Bookseller. Chump. Little Richard once asked God to bless me.

Historian, artist, tour guide and FSAScot. A lover of legend and folklore. Buy my art and my books here: https://linktr.ee/classicalalan
