About Me

Hi! I’m Toby. It’s really great to meet you.

 

Just in case it comes up later, I’m sorry if I forget your name, I’m awful at names. And faces. And smells. That’s not relevant to you, I’m not saying you smell, just, I don’t really have much of that sense. Most people have one sense that’s better than all their others, but… sorry, I don’t know how I got onto this topic, I should have talked through this About Me page with someone before writing. You definitely don’t smell. I mean, probably. Can we start again?

 

Hello – I’m Toby, and thank you for visiting my website. (I think this round is going much more smoothly, don’t you?) You ever notice how you have people in your life that are shiny and well-adjusted who always say the right thing and then you have other people in your life that you make dinosaur noises with? Well, you’ve read this far (thank you!), so I think (hope?) that maybe this could be the start of a beautiful dinosaur-noises friendship. Not to presume, it’s totally reasonable if you don’t want to make dinosaur noises. Most people don’t.

 

I’ve been told by Many Intelligent People (MIPs) in the industry that I need to specialize so I’ve decided that I write LGBT YA Fantasy stories. Which is completely true, except for the couple of scripts that don’t have an LGBT protagonist. And a few that aren’t YA-focused. But almost all of them have a fantasy element! Well, except for one, but I haven’t written that one yet, so I don’t think it counts.  Come to think of it, when I write that I’m probably going to have to rewrite this About Me page.
