Dog walking science fiction/fantasy writer from Haworth, NJ, living in Toronto. I love cats, redheads, punk rock, heavy metal, film noir, good books, spicy foods, comic books, model airplanes, steampunk and dragons!https://bsky.app/profile/jeffwarshaw.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/jeffwarshaw.bsky.social/post/3lshlvrbryk2kSeriously considering ditching Facebook. Far too many trolls. Just because I refer to a very beautiful woman as a goddess, that doesn’t mean I want unsolicited responses from dominatrixes (is that even a word?).

Still, it’s a great punk anthem.
