This is the response to ABOUT or INFO:
The demo version of Will The Real Marjorie Hopkirk Please Stand Up? was written by Steve Parsons for TextFire, Inc.
About the author:
Steve's parents tell him that he was the result of a power cut in 1970, and his conception can certainly be blamed for the shotgun wedding that soon followed. Growing into a deceitful and cruel young man, it seemed only logical that he would end up joining the police, and join he did, but only so that he could send photos of himself in uniform to desperate young women over the internet, and make them sweat with anticipation before mysteriously vanishing from their lives. For Steve is evil, and delights in hurting people.
This is not Steve Parsons, however. For he is someone quite different.
