SAO was born and raised in the picturesque lake region of western Prussia (a.k.a. Pomerania), but has lived in the US since the late 70's. Prefers writing after midnight in the company of his hamster Hector. Major works include an unfinished epic poem written in octava rima (roughly 30000 lines) as well several 5 act dramas (all in 4 acts). Shy and unassuming by nature, SAO is willing to accept fame posthumously, as long as it is preceded by fortune.
