Fair warning -- I'm sometimes unconsciously abrasive to the thin-skinned. It's an introvert thing. I'm an intensely private person and frankly, I suck at chat because I write too slowly and deliberately, so I may not seem very friendly. It isn't personal, so please don't be offended. I generally won't request to be your friend unless I stumble upon your profile or your stories and they make you irresistable, but I'll accept friend requests. I'm not looking for chats, cyber, cams or meetups, but I'm open to frank PM discussions with other authors and with readers who want to talk about their passion for erotic literature.
Interests I love to write. I am a storyteller and the narrator/character in most of my stories is also a storyteller. I generally like to have a sometimes gritty realism in my stories, almost to the point where they are painful to read. It's easy to write fantasies. It's challenging to write credible characters. I write about some of the darker moments or feelings in my life and intensify them some. It's therapeutic or maybe even cathartic. I'm not really into writing about simple sexual relationships. My stories will be different.
Besides writing, I enjoy spending time in the woods, gardening, hunting, watching movies, reading, boating and long slow friendly PM conversations with people (but especially mature women) who care to converse about topics of mutual interest. These topics can be sexual, but that's not required and not all I'm about.
Favorite Books I've read a long ton of SF and I prefer the hard stuff. I also like the mindbendingly complex fiction like Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon and The Baroque Cycle trilogy. I even found a lot to like about Gravity's Rainbow, but I admit I struggled a bit on that one.
Favorite Authors Every time I try to pick a favorite, I soon find a new favorite, but some of my all time favorites are the masters of SF, Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Vernor Vinge, Robert Heinlein, Frank Herbert, and for more recent times, the Killer Bs.
Favorite Movies Most of my favorites are SF classics like Alien and 2001: A Space Odyssey. I like a lot of other movies and lean toward suspense, horror and mystery over comedy and romance. I also like quirky films like Box of Moonlight and About Schmidt. I enjoy many many indies (independent films), some artsy, but others just different from what the major studios would pick up (eg. The Boondock Saints).
Favorite Music I'm a long time rocker with a strong attachment to the electric guitar masters, but I also love jazz fusion and Chicago style blues.
