About Me

I'm a dark fantasy, horror, and romance author who loves to test the boundaries of any situation.First, I want to set the record straight. MySpace tells you I'm a Sag and I'm not! I'm Scorpio, all right? I might have been a happy-go-lucky Sag back in the late 80s when I was young and naive, but now I'm older and wiser. From the time I can remember I've always been a Scorpio. Just because I was born on the cusp...
My favorite place to live is Northern California. I grew up in Northern California--you can't beat the weather. The beach is a little cold and the closest beach that is tolerable for a good amount of time is Santa Cruz. I've been to Japan and loved it. It was nice to buy a beer from a vending machine. I've been across the country and lived in Wisconsin. I can tell you there is no other place like No. California and no place that I'd rather be. Maybe that's why I write about San Francisco.

My Interests

Strange and unusual things. Macintosh osx and computers. Authors who write steamy romance that involves some sort of preternatural creature or action/crime. I write stories about FBI agents, detectives, and the dark fantasy world with a little spicy romance edged in so anything along those lines is perfect. I guess it's the fad now. I've always enjoyed reading and writing this type of work. Maybe it's just my generation.
I don't do microsoft.

I'd like to meet:

Billy Idol, Robert Smith from The Cure, David Bowie, Gabriel Byrne, Bruce Willis, people my age who listen to good modern rock/new wave/punk and who are not into the drug scene except that seems impossible where I live now. Where are all the cute men with eye liner, damn it!?!?!?

Music:

The Cure, Billy Idol, Generation X, Sex Pistols, David Bowie, 70s and 80s punk, Devo, Hot Chip, Green Day, Erotic City by Prince-okay, I like his mid 80s music, classical, soul and funk, hey I even like disco, Beach Boys, surf punk, new wave, post punk--yes, are you getting a picture here? Guys with strange hair and black eyeliner who wear suits and ties are simply delicious.
I loathe rap. I tolerate country because it brings back some good memories. I love funk like Cameo and Parliament.
My two favorite musicians of all time are my brother Leif Rhodes and my upcoming bass/cello/guitar playing son Grant.

Movies:

Usually any kind of sci-fi that ads some humor. I love action hero movies. Horror movies are all the same now and boring. Chick flicks are a big yawner unless they're like Miss Congeniality or Somethings Gotta Give. Sweet, comedy romances are an absolute bore.

My favorite movies are: Independence Day, Demolition Man, Terminator 2 (although 1 & 2 are pretty good), Die Hard 1, 2, and 3. Haven't seen 4 yet.

Television:

I don't really watch tv.

Books:

Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K. Hamilton, Black Beauty by Anna Sewell, Broken Brides by Carlton Clay, The Tommyknockers by Stephen KingBTW - I no longer read paperback books. All my books are now read on my Palm Treo because life is too short to fill your shelves with paper.

Heroes:

My mother.
