FAQ
What is the little scribble you sign off with?
It is a monogram of my actual name.
So what's your middle name then?
Wouldn't you like to know? Note that also the "ara" and "awfield" parts of my author name are inventions.
Well, so what's the secrecy about?
I am actually technically a published author under my real name. My name graces two research papers in bioinorganic chemistry. Sounds interesting? I thought so too, until I actually worked on them.
Anyway, should I find my way back into science, I guess keeping my name pristine isn't the worst idea.
