About Me

Describe Yourself:

It's a simple story, really. Too many years of graduate school, a few teaching college-level English, one as a stay-at-home father, and here we are. I've wanted to be a writer all my life, but at the moment I'm exploring proofreading and editing. It's been a strange trip, but better strange than dull, yes?
On Gather, I'm Looking For ...:

I'm interested in meeting like-minded writers for mutual support and critiquing. I'd also like to self-publish my fiction, poetry and essays.

Interests

Favorite Music, Artists, Genres:

Handel, Velvet Underground, Pink Floyd, Bruce Springsteen, Rush, Concrete Blonde, Sarah MacLachlan, Counting Crows, Morphine, Damien Rice, The Killers
Favorite Books, Writers, Genres:

John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester, Donatien Alphonse-Francois, Marquis de Sade, Robert Browning, Walt Whitman, Clark Ashton Smith, Anais Nin, Anne Rice
Favorite Movies, Actors, Genres:

I enjoy fantasy films, period pieces and historical epics. Current favorites are The Libertine and Stardust
Favorite TV Shows, Actors:

Television? That's the glassy black box in the other room, right?
Interests and Activities:

Writing, roleplaying, MU*& MMO, erotica, poetry, fantasy and historical fiction, walks, cooking, soccer, fitness. I write, I roleplay. I read. When the mood strikes, I cook. Other things are better left unsaid.

Just noticed you listed "The Libertine" among your fav movies. I agree and think it was a much better movie and Depp did better in it, than in Sweeny Todd. It was beautifully smart and edgy. I guess, too smart and edgy.
