I'm 73 years old now. My brain and body still work. I'm looking to publish some of what I write, since I have been writing but not publishing all my life. Craig Samuel is not my real name -- it's a pseudonym, picked out of one of my fictions. We are, after all, merely figments of each others' imaginations, so names actually are empty and meaningless. Our job is to create and assign meaning in a chaotic universe.

Gender pronouns? The universe doesn't care. I'm an 'it' for the money. I don't care what you grok me to be based on the pseudonym - we'll never meet in the flesh, so it's irrelevant. Do you know how many books have been published under masculine pseudonyms by women? How about the other way around? If it matters to you, then do what makes you happy. That's what I'm doing about it.

I'm publishing some of my late sister's writing under her pseudonym, Amaranth Rose. The list of her work so far is here: https://gjsittler.medium.com/list/this-mortal-coil-081bdde292a6
