It's my pen name I use to write, I was originally "shadow" when I was an uncreative ten year old fantasy author wannabe, but I extended it to S. Hadow, because we were just studying some of O. Henrys work in my L.A. class, and later still, when I got less satisfied with the name I brought to its full modern glory with Simon Hadow. And yes, I am a bit... ok, more than a bit... of a freak... though that doesn't pertain directly to the conversation at hand, I feel it's best to just let people know, so they don't think I'm some kind of "Normy".
