Lutra = Lou Trah

Lou Trah is my pen name I've had for the last four years and I've decided that it'll stay. It's just lutra, which is a genus of otter, turned into a full name. I like it because it's short and I have a fondness for otters. Who doesn't love those long, squeaky water dogs who crack clams on their belly and hold hands so they don't drift apart? Also, they are a keystone species in any of their habitats.
