puppetmaker: (Peter David and Me)
[personal profile] puppetmaker
Hi there I am Puppetmaker40 aka Kathleen O’Shea David. People who met me before 1990 call me Kathy and after 1990 call me either Kathleen or Kath with a couple of exceptions.

I am married to Peter David, writer of stuff. I have three adult stepdaughters Shana, Gwen, and Ariel and one daughter Caroline who is 10.

I have held a plethora of jobs over my working life. These include Master Puppeteer, AEA Stage Manger, Book Editor for Del Rey Books, Book Store manager, Comic Book Store manager, Collection Management for a University Library, and Mom. I have done and seen a lot in my life. I can never say that my life has been boring and I have very few regrets.

I am known on the Internet for my puppets, dolls and costumes. This past DragonCon I did a sketch as part of the puppet slam with all the Doctors Who and a parody of a Billy Joel song that we entitled “For a Lord of Time”. It’s up on Youtube if you want to take a look.

I am a fan that became a pro. I have attended science fiction conventions since I was a teenager. I loved comic books. I am a voracious reader of a lot of things. I geek out on my favorite TV shows and movies. I have had a Dr Who short story published in a Big Finish Anthology. My husband and I created a series for the Stan Lee World of Heroes channel called Headcases (more on that later in the competition I think). So you can find me in person at various Science Fiction conventions.

I am Caroline’s mom and quite proud of my little girl. She is 10. She loved to read and draw. She is good at school and still likes school. She is a very thoughtful little girl who wants the best for everyone.

Recently our lives changed rather drastically when my husband had a stroke at Disney World. That was three weeks ago and we are still dealing with the fallout from that. But he is getting better and I am grateful for every improvement he makes.

So I open the floor to questions. What do YOU want to know about me?

Hello, you. Glad to see you'll be doing this as well. Also, I don't think I ever watched that video. I am going to go do that now. (One of these years I'm actually going to make it to the Puppet Slam. Why so full of amazing things, D*C?)

Had fallen out of the habit of reading LJ so had kinda lost touch, so glad to see you back in Idoldom.

Hope Peter continues to get better. I'll add him to my "candle list" (the poll on the beldar account will go up this week btw)

Oh, goodness. A stroke? How awful. Hope he continues to get better.

All I want are some pictures of the stranger puppets. Because I am just like that. ;)

I'm glad your husband is getting better, even if the process isn't at all easy.
