Scribal bio.
Meritites now. She´s one who came to old AS and immediately got stuck and so she´still here although she fancies a change of clothes now and then. She lives with her husband and cat up in high North of Scandinavia, where they are surrounded by books and tall trees.
Her background meanders between academic studies (ex: archaeology, anthropology) and stage arts like ballet & drama. Never one to settle for one path of life (except AS & AW then, of course), she kept on trying to balance her way with one foot in each area and succeeded pretty well. When she got too old for jumping about, she happily settled down to try and read all those books she could all too easily order on the net.
I guess there´s not much more to say. She always was deeply buried in the sands of ancient Egypt, and is not likely to come out of it. Except that she is very happy to share her entusiasm and what she may know.
