I am here for Networking

About Me

I have somehow managed to combine my strange fascination with words, overactive imagination, three Spiderman pencils and a steno pad into something more than a hobby. Unfortunately, sometimes having a brain that won't shut off does lead to the occasional bout of insomnia.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

writers, editors, publishers and anyone else in the writing field. I'd also be interested in networking with others in my geographic area who share creative interests. Oh, I wouldn't rule out leggy Brazilian supermodels, biochemists, forensic labworkers and those bearing Dove Dark Chocolate. It'd be for research for my next book....really.

Other than that: Steve Martin, Martin Gore, David Vanian, Billy Joel, Suzanne Vega, Ludwig Van Beethoven, James Taylor, Stephen King....o.k., maybe even Adriana Lima.

My Blog
