Horny senior citizen, world traveler, intellectually curious about all sorts of topics, voracious reader. Back in my college days I spent one glorious summer working in California's San Fernando Valley as a "scriptwriter" for a porn production company -- not that the scripts were all that in-depth!

Experienced book editor in all genres (fiction and non-fiction) with dozens of published titles to my credit.

Interests
Erotic stories (duh!), OPERA, porn, overseas travel, sex (when I can get it -- hey, I'm old and clearly no Adonis), baseball, Indian food.

Favorite Books
Major murder mystery fan, so I'm seriously into various series (especially those set in non-US locations). Also interested in historical nonfiction.

Favorite Authors
Cara Black, Donna Leon, Peter May, John Sandford, Andrea Camilleri (in English translation), and a few others I can't immediate recall.

Favorite TV Shows
MhZ foreign mysteries, such as "Inspector Montalbano" (Italian), "Inspector Morleau" (French), and "Commisario Brunetti" (German).

Favorite Music
Opera, especially bel canto (Donizetti, Bellini), late-Romantic (Verdi) and French grand opera (Meyerbeer!).
