Then what are you afraid of here? Telling us where you went to school doesn't violate your privacy. It gives us no clue to your identity. Besides we have many, many authors on FR.

Let me ask you something. I've seen you claim that you don't want anyone to know where you graduated from because of stalkers and you don' want to just straight out say your age.
(yes, I can figure out your age well enough)
Yet you say you want to be published.
Are you planning to write fiction or use a nom de plume?
