What about the Author

Dear Reader,

To be honest, I really don't know what to say about what I'm like and I just don't know why.
It's not because I don't know myself in the same way that a lot of people would know who and what they're like and maybe it's just that I don't pay too much attention to who I am or to what I'm like...
....OK
....STOP!
Well of course that's not true at all! I DO PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT I AM and when I say I do, I really mean it and if ever you'd ask me a common job interview question like; 'TELL ME SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF WHICH IS NOT IN YOUR RESUME?", then here are things that i might possibly tell you:

1) call me Carlo- it's just half of my real name but I like to be called this way because it sounds old fashioned and I like old fashioned things like the cuckoo clock in my Grandaunt's house and a piece of an old broken deer antler I once found on near a river. Anyways, In reality though, a lot of people call me by the other half of my name which sounds more like that of a girl's. The sad thing is I didn't have any choice but to be used to it.

2) I like to travel- to find new places not too many people know or have been too. Strange places like the magical world inside one's wardrobe, or the land of trolls and lizard-people on the edge of Dark Sea of Darkness or the humble nation of Fanelia that has been guarded by land dragons for a thousand years.

3) I love animals. I had a pet praying mantis once and one day it just stopped moving... I know that it doesn't move a lot so it took me a few days to realize it was already dead. My uncle also sent me a pair of flying foxes which are actually very huge bats. My father didn't like them. He said they might have rabies. Once I found a small turtle when I was kid but my pet crab killed it. I eventually killed that crab.

Anyways, Coffee Cream and a Tumbler is about my adventures or misadventures. It's about my life and my job and how I deal with everyday dragons and witches and damsels in distress trapped in a door-less tower guarded by poisonous hummingbirds and carnivorous unicorns. This is more like a guide to Life and how to deal with every possible situation that would pop out of nowhere and would make us feel clueless.

This is my story and maybe (just maybe) it might be just like your's. :)

Sincerely,
Carlo

NICE!!!!
