A: I have a wide range of interests! I've been researching genealogy for over 20 years, I'm a gamer (mostly World of Warcraft), I enjoy photography (I used to be a wildlife photographer and game ranger), and I collect antiques, autographs, fairies, and anything owl or snow leopard related. I also have four (or five, depending on who's counting!) tattoos.

Q: What are some of your favourite things?

A: I value kindness above all else. I enjoy TV shows like Supernatural, Castle, Psych, Bones, Law & Order, Doctor Who, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
