About Me

I am a writer who's been published four times by a real publisher. Thankfully out of print since the 1980s (it was all non-fiction and computer-related, so don't cry for me).I have a low tolerance for bullshit, especially of the corporate, governmental, tech kind.I like to read and I like to listen to music and I like to watch videos. Gee, isn't all that unique (the first one might be!).I have a blog at WordPress. Cover your eyes if you go there. I use Pattonesque expressions -- what the sissies of tech call "gutter language." Poor babies!

My Interests

Reading, writing.

I'd like to meet:

They're all dead! Baudelaire, Poe, Nerval, Balzac, Barry Gray (he did the wonderful music for the best Gerry Anderson Tv series), Bukowski, others. They'd probably have hated me, found me boring, but I don't care. Even to be insulted by them would have been to be Touched by God.

Music:

Girls Don't Cry first and foremost. And whatever bands you see listed in my Friends. Down with Corporate Music, up with indie bands who play real music!

Television:

Gerry Anderson's TV series, the brilliant Britcom series "Shelley," "EZ Streets," "Millennium," "Rock Follies," more.

Books:

See writers listed in Friends. Mark Billingham, Ken Bruen, Christopher Fowler, Tito Perdue, you should be on MySpace!

Heroes:

My brother and sister writers.
