I am retired. I worked in IT, as will probably be evident from my stories. I write in International English and most of my stories are located in the UK. My apologies for all the mistakes I will make when writing a story based in the USA or, indeed, elsewhere.

I have particular interest in what constitutes consent. Almost all my stories are consensual, even when the participants are below the legal age of consent, sometimes significantly so.

I believe that the law is around right. Some teenagers might be ready for sex at 15. Others aren't until 17 or older. Sixteen is a good compromise. That means my stories don't take place in our world; something has to be significantly different in order for the story to work. That change might be physical, societal or both.

Some stories might start with a page or two of more or less boring description of these features. Feel free to skip them if you don't find it interesting. Other stories might just assume the different society and expect readers to pick it up. If one is not used to reading SFF, that might be disconcerting.
