Introduction We ask ourselves why we write, because it's such a hard road. Well I write because that's what I was born to do and if I don't I am extrememly unhappy. I spent too much of my life not doing the writing I wanted to do. Now it's my turn.
Interests I'm a writer and have been all my life. That's how I earn my living and that's where my heart is. I am very interested in the future of the planet and social change and support the Green Party, Greenpeace, Amnesty International (I write for PEN's writers in prison rapid action network)and Oxfam. I am also becoming a singer and play the guitar. I am interested in rock'n'roll and swing dancing and walking and talking to people and art and fashion and design....not so much sport, but I love Iyenga yoga.
Favorite Movies I used to love movies, but now I am rather impatient with other people's stories, unless they are very good. I remember liking Kiss of the Spider Woman very much, and I remember liking a short film called The Blue Car, but when I saw some of it recently it wasn't how I remembered it. Loved Dr Zhivago when I was young, and now I don't go to movies very much and am often disappointed.
Favorite Music Bernie Griffen and the Grifters.Eilen Jewell. Nick Cave. Bob Dylan. Joli Holland. Lucinda Williams. Gillian Welch. Thge others, you know who you are
Favorite Books The Adventures of the Milk Bottle Man (mine) aka Immolation.
