Hello. My pen name is “April Follies”, and I have Issues. This is my personal forum for writing about them; the page will be updated as new articles are added. I am a citizen of the United States, and therefore some of the concerns discussed will be of little interest to the rest of the international audience; others, I hope, will be of international scope.
