scavola

People have (legitimate) issues with my "bio" so let's just cut the carp (or most of it). I live in a state where there are protections from being fired for being FAT but not for being gay. I work for a company that has a "morals clause" and uses it. I write gay porn. You do the math . . .

Why scavola and why a lion? To make a short story long . . . "scaevola" was a Roman soldier who was, supposedly, the first functionally and acceptingly left-handed person, (google him, there's a story there!) and I have a background in Latin. My books are shifter / anthropomorphic, so I joined furaffinity to find an artist for the book covers. Being a Leo, I chose a lion as my "fursona". My profile picture, which I drew, actually has my face under there..

So maybe this will help new members of my group, G/G - gay fiction for gay men, from going to Moderator Don because WTF is a scavola? (Not that I mind them going to Don just the, deservedly, WTF? part).

My old bio:

I'm scavola, as you know me now, a lion. Well, not 'on all fours' as we say, but 'standing tall on my hind legs'. My human form, I don't use much, as lions are proud and majestic creatures and humans, once you reach a certain age, just get old and fat. I've written a few books so far that are available on amazon.com, the 'Duke' series as I call it, Duke – Book 1: Alpha Rising, Book 2: Genevieve's Tale, and Book 3: Transformations, that's where I come in to the series.

Getting to know them, I was so impressed by their story that I had to write it down. It follows them from the time Duke had to tell Mike his secret, that he could 'change' into a black German Shepherd, to their experience with Genevieve, a hundred-year old tortoise, to their joining the Israeli military as part of their compulsory service, where I met them. We stay in touch, so hopefully there'll be more adventures to come.

I love Duke and his world, and I hope you do too.
