About Me

There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

My Interests

There's right and there's right and never the twain shall meet.

I'd like to meet:

Dave Beeth Oven, Maxine of Arc, Herman the Kid, Bob "Genghis" Khan, So-crates Johnson, Dennis Frood, and Abraham Lincoln.

Movies:

Well... thank you for the thought, but shocking as it may sound, I am not the first writer to sip a little weed. Furthermore, it might surprise you to know that one book I wrote, as you say, "under the influence," just happened to win a little something called the Pen Award. Which, by the way, I accepted under the influence.

Books:

Black Swan Green, Everyman.

It is really weird showing up to work and having people tell that you are famous.  It is even weirder to be famous for something as simple as knowing what happened on December 7, 1941. What ...
