Like Nick Seabrooke, the ace in the picture, I am asexual. I've chosen to paint a very narrow picture of asexuality in the story-there are so many types of aces that I could have filled a gallery. My type is very different from Nick's, but there are some firsthand truths peeping through the fiction.  I blog at https: //polyallsorts.wordpress.com . There are posts about asexuality, polyamory, beer, tattoos, book covers and many other story-related items. There are photos of the Durham countryside, the setting of the stories, too.
