| Introduction | Real Name: Tracy Doyle. I wear many hats. Besides freelance writing, dog training and music research, I also have done time as a newspaper reporter, a production supervisor for a large candy manufacturer, a cost accountant, a waitress, bartender and even a sandwich-maker. I love public speaking! I'm menopausal, opinionated and generally a high-maintenance bitch. I'm full of advice, which is worth at least what you're paying for it. Things I fear most are the Animal Rights movement, the loss of common sense in America (right along with manners) and men who are mysteries unto themselves. I'm as much a traditionalist as I am a conservative, although I'm often perceived as the latter. I do tend to vote that way. |

Your bow is not broken but you've run out of arrows. How can you fake being a bard?
Oh, with what wit will I warp words and pluck at heartstrings and feign archaic tongues!
