My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I have this hermit habit - usually for writing, but I'm also a sociable kind of guy... until I disappear into the keyboard.So there's a bunch of people I'd like to meet for the fun of it or for business or, in an ideal world, for both. Give me a shout if you're a Producer, in Management, an Agent, Commissioning Editor or Financier and between us we can make the world a better place for us all.
