Mini-Bio for
Jo Dora Webster, pen name of Ariel Montine Strickland

I'm a southern belle with auburn hair and blue eyes from the vibrant city of Denver, CO, USA. Although I sometimes feel like I'm in my forties, perhaps wishing time would pause, I'm actually grateful for its passage. It's been since my millennium resolution that I transitioned as a transwoman on my original rebirthday, July 6, 2000.

My roots trace back to lowland Scotland and Ireland, yet I am thoroughly American. My leisure time is often spent delving into the latest romances, comedies, or mysteries on Big Closet Top Shelf (BCTS) and embracing the great outdoors on weekend camping trips with my SCA friends, where we revive the noble ways of old and chivalry reigns supreme. Additionally, I cherish my moments as a member of Starfleet Internationalwhere I carry the honorary title of Captain.

My journey with writing spans over thirty years. My debut story, 'What Would Jesus Do?' on BCTS was initially published under 'Jesus and the Transwoman' on a nascent Christian platform called Faithvine, which has since vanished. Moreover, thirty years ago, I released 'Beauty and the Vial' on a BBS, which, unbeknownst to me, found its way to BCTS, penned under a different alias. Currently, I have completed nine novels, all initially released under my pseudonym, Jo Dora Webster, along with three short stories bearing the same pen name.
