Who Is @LMAshton?
I converted to Tweeting on 15 July 2008, and while I took a while to catch the groove of Tweeting, I recently passed my 10,000th Tweet mark. Oddly enough, or not, that tweet was all about bras. 
I thought it might be a good idea to explain a bit about me. The About Me box on Twitter is alarmingly small, no surprise, so consider this the expanded version.
First, welcome to the madhouse.
I’m a Canadian expat living in Sri Lanka. I’m here because of a man I met on the Internet and then married in jaw-dropping fashion. We live what Americans and Canadians would call the suburbs, sort of, but it’s really not the same. At all. It’s very close to jungle, and in fact, jungle still fights the good fight at taking over the land.
We have neighborhood, as in strays or wandering at will, birds, cats, dogs, goats, cows, lizards (I’m talking about ones up to five or seven feet long), and monkeys. We’ve got odd creatures infiltating our house. We’ve got… Well, let’s just say it’s an interesting life. 
I’m also a geek who enjoys reading science and technology news. Not that I understand the science behind everything, but really, it’s for the geek factor. Because, yes, Virginia, I am a geek. 
I’m also a freelance writer and editor, although in a former life, I was an accountant. You could say that I’ve merely transferred my anal retentive detail oriented nature to another profession. And it works.
I’m also a science fiction & fantasy writer. Mostly novels, but some shorter fiction as well. And for no good reason at all, I also occasionally write haikus, usually about the monsoon rains, cows, or other such things. Because I can and for no other good reason.
And I tend to tweet about all of the above and then some, depending on my fancy.
If you want to know more about me, you can visit my sites. And Fahim’s.

Want to find me elsewhere on the Internet?
There’s more, but that’s all I can think of for now.
And if you’re not already following me on Twitter, please do so. I’m @LMAshton. And I don’t bite. Much. Or very often. Or something like that…
