About me

Gender Male
Industry Marketing
Occupation Writer and graphic designer (almost retired)
Location Kiotari, Rhodes, Greece
Introduction I am married and live on the island of Rhodes. I play a bit of bass guitar (badly, it has to be said) and write books for pleasure.
Interests People watching, the meaning of existence (42 wasn't it?), Bible prophecy (fascinating stuff, all religion aside here), blues, new and old rock music, gardening, walking, writing...
Favorite Movies "The World's Fastest Indian" & "Scent of a Woman" in which Al Pacino is breathtakingly good. Can I have two favourites?
Favorite Music Prog rock (Pink Floyd), blues, reggae, John Martyn (RIP), Elbow, Bob Dylan, Riverside (from Poland, excellent), Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree (the best band you've never heard of), electric & acoustic folk ...and of course - Joe Bonamassa!
Favorite Books The Bible (H.G. Wells wrote that a man cannot consider himself educated if he doesn't have a working knowledge of this book), Spike Milligan, Bill Bryson, Robert Goddard, Jodi Picoult, Harlan Coben, stuff that makes you think a little ...plus most good travel writing. Also (due to a recent reminder) The Magus by John Fowles (set on Spetse)

If I met me, would I like him?
