I have been asked by Net Curtains to provide a short autobiography. The other writers' biographies are all extremely impressive. They have won prizes and been awarded grants. Ewan McGregor is going to be in their films.
Not keen on blowing my own trumpet (all those years stuck on third cornet playing off-beats) , I googled the name I was known by in the olden days when I was prolific.
Is my four star Stage review there? My glowing Scotsman piece? Oh no. The only review of me there is on the internet is one which gets the names of my characters wrong and includes the immortal line:
...to be honest, Alison Yates, unlike her co-performer Claire Mace, is clearly more writer than actress and she does mistime many of her gags.
Bunch of skanks. I give up. How's this for a biography?
Alison Morgan was born. Then she wrote some stuff. If you don't commission her she will shoot herself and take Simon Callow with her. Enjoy the show!

It's amazing what you can find with google...
"Ssh. Be quiet. I need to check this out." Raven said, looking over the edge. She dropped to her knees, and Charles followed her example. He looked over the edge to see the back of the city's museum, surrounded with people. There was a truck parked below, and people were taking crates out and taking them into the building. Suddenly Charles spotted someone he knew.
"That's Alison Yates!" he whispered excitedly. "She's a writer, quite rich, and she often visited my bookstore."
"She's one." Raven replied, not offering anything else.
"One what?"
"One of the Others." Raven said exasperatedly.
"She's a--demon? But that can't be right! She's a, a semi-charming woman, at least. I've met her several times."
"Doesn't change anything. The Others are masters of disguise; you'd be surprised how many popes were of the other level."
"You're kidding!" Charles burst out. He couldn't believe his ears. Raven shook her head.
"They go after positions of power. Rich is definitely powerful."
"Was Hitler one?" he asked after a moment.
"Nope. He was a screw-up of your species." she said.
