| Introduction | I'm a writer based in Phoenix who longs for the mountains but makes the best of the desert: OK, I'm schizo but pragmatic. I love dark tales, good memories, music, real food and gardening, people who live by their own rules, are cynical, misanthropic and have a sense of themselves amidst the nonsense, anything sensuous from red velvet cake to red velvet pillows. I live with The Priest and Marla who are needy creatures that do not suffer fools gladly,(they are clever beasts,like their mistress, no?) so manage me quite well. I hate fools,municipal governments,thinktanks, bureaucracies,public opinion, and what passes for education. Oops,and redundancy. |
| Interests | Beauty, truth, justice, love. |
| Favorite movies | The Lion in Winter, Tombstone, Practical Magic, Clint Eastwood anything, Deadwood, Entourage. And yes I know half are TV shows, so Hollywood needs to make better movies and spend less money on crap. |
| Favorite music | Everything except country and pop, which irritate me with stupid lyrics and facile instrumentation. |
| Favorite books | Most things by John Connolly, Derrick Jensen, Dave Eggers, John Irving, Michael Pollan, Alice Hoffman, Barbara Kingsolver, Dorothy Dunnett, Lisa Tuttle, Patrick Rothfuss, GRR Martin, and William Shakespeare. |
