I am the goddess Fortuna reincarnated, informally known as Jo Ahlberg. The product of a drunken fumble between a moron and a lunatic, I took my first breath of secondhand smoke in the state of Massachusetts 35 years ago. Sometimes raised by a single-parent mad-hatter-mother in a Hertfordshire council house, but mainly raised by various foster parents. I am a ridiculous statistic of about 0.005% who end up doing a Ph.D. in philosophy. This figure is based upon the 6% of those from foster care who end up with a degree, let alone an MA or Ph.D. Homeless by age 16, I had three children with an Algerian immigrant. Lots more random and inexplicable things happened over a 20 year period, such as falling in love and marrying the principal of my former FE college, becoming a university lecturer in philosophy and winning Spillwords author of the month.
