I'm an academic who refuses to specialise, and I finally found a PhD program that won't make me do it (or at least was willing to accept my very strange dissertation proposal). My writing is the same way, more or less. If something feels right (be it humour, ghosts, what have you), I put it in. If I ever manage to get published, I shudder to think where the hypothetical book might get shelved.

Oh, and I have a birthmark in my right eye.
