I've been writing stories since I first read Dr. No at age nine. Many authors since Ian Fleming have opened my mind to the different routes fiction can take. When I lived in Japan for two years I discovered Raymond Chandler of all people; he wrote the most realistic dialogue I'd ever read and was a big influence.
Erotica is a difficult genre because of its limitations, too much and it becomes porn. The writers of erotica who appeal to me are the ones who can say it without saying it, letting your mind fill in the blanks. There aren't many of them being published and even they can get repetitive.
In addition to collecting books and jazz fusion music I enjoy architecture, especially European buildings like the Dancing House in Prague. Nowadays I'd rather give than receive and have found myself becoming less judgmental and more mellow as time moves on. There goes the neighborhood, damn it! |
