About me

Gender Male
Industry Arts
Occupation semi-retired science-fiction and mystery writer
Location Tucson, Arizona, United States
Introduction No writer ever retires, he just stops selling his work. Or, in my case, he runs out of inspiration.
Interests Food, drink, merry times, tennis, politics
Favorite Movies Oh, North to Alaska, A Night at the Opera, Vertigo, The Third Man. In a word, old stuff.
Favorite Music Old-time country music, the way George Jones sings it. Urban folk, the way Joan Baez and the Kingston Trio used to sing it. Rodgers and Hammerstein up through the mid-50s. More old stuff.
Favorite Books Evelyn Waugh, Raymond Chandler, Robert A. Heinlein, some Larry Niven. The Lord Emsworth novels by P.G. Wodehouse about the Empress of Blandings, the prize-winning pig. As you can see, more old stuff.
