Writer and editor. Retired. I enjoy helping Lush writers to understand and improve their craft. If you're interested in having your stories edited, send me a PM. I am open to making friends but not just to have a list of avatars. If we can share thoughts, ideas, entertain and enlighten with a lot of smiles thrown in, then I will gladly welcome you with pleasure and, metaphorically, open arms and warm heart. No drama, thanks. Posting pictures? I am open and broad minded (why else would I be here?). I prefer images to be exotic, artistic, amusing, stimulating, sexy, erotic and arousing. I like people in the throes of sexual passion and have no qualms with genitalia. I adore the female form in all shapes, sizes and colour. Thanks for reading this brief bio and I wish you happiness and good health.
Interests Reading and writing (no surprise there). I dabble in poetry and enjoy the challenge and requirements of writing concise lines. But my forte is the longer story where I develop characters, lifestyles and situations. Occasionally I write a “quickie” where sex is in the driving (and passenger) seat. Always been a sportsman - soccer, cricket and boxing in my younger day. Now a regular golfer. The 19th hole is a nice place to be. Which means I also enjoy a drink - from red wine, through beer to whisky and whiskey. Prefer "live" theatre to movies; travel for beach holidays (especially naturist) and cities of the world; good food in atmospheric restaurants; conversation and laughter.
Favorite Books I have read so many books, there is no longer one or a few to rate as favourites. Rather I'd say my favourite reads are crime, detective and psychological thrillers.
Favorite Authors See above: from Dickens and Aesop, through Poe, Wilde, Hemingway and Christie, to Rankin, Block and Robert B Parker, the list is long. Here's a sample: Richard Stark, Peter Robinson, John Harvey, Roald Dahl, Tess Gerritsen, Val McDermid, Jeffrey Deaver, Dan Brown, JA Kerley,Lawrence Block, John Connolly, Michael Connelly, Simon Kernick, Stephen White, Stephen Booth, Lee Child, Peter James, Richard Montanari and Harlan Coben.
Favorite Movies Wide-ranging from musicals (eg Chicago, Chorus Line, Cabaret) through classics (eg Brief Encounter, Citizen Kane, Wizard of Oz, High Noon, Rebecca, Gone with the Wind, On the waterfront) gangster (eg Goodfellas, The Godfather 1 and 2) and so many more like Dr Zhivago, Dr No, Moulin Rouge, Funny Girl, The Sting, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Love Story, 10, Arthur, The Odd Couple, Days of wine and roses, The Deer Hunter, Taxi, etc etc
Favorite TV Shows Not a TV fan but followed some series (MadMen, CSI, Law and Order etc). Dip into The Simpsons and British quiz shows. And, inevitably, too much sport (if that's possible).
Favorite Music Love music, love singers, love live performances and recordings. Taste spreads across light classical, stuff from 30s and 40s (big bands, swing, Jolson etc), crooners (Sinatra, Bennett, Nat King Cole, Mathis), old pop (50s, 60s and 70s: Elvis, Buddy Holly, Neil Diamond, Connie Francis, Status Quo, Queen) and country (oh so many including Tom T Hall, Willie Nelson, Tammy Wynette, Crystal Gale, Patsy Cline, Merle Haggard, John Denver et al)
