ManoLenta

Retired writer, editor, novelist, and professor of world religions. I was once Senior Editor of Men's Health magazine. I've written five novels; the first was published in 10 languages; the second novel sold out its first printing in the Netherlands. I used to pen a monthly column for Romantic Times magazine on the techniques of storytelling. I taught a one-time course at the university level: "How to Write Science Fiction and Fantasy." I now teach Yoga four times a week and I practice Tai Chi and walk daily, so I'm very fit. I am gifted (or cursed?) with a high libido. I've practiced meditation (zazen) for more than 40 years, and in my 20s, I lived in a yoga ashram. I hold a Master's Degree in comparative religion and I spent an entire semester doing a scholarly study of Tantra Yoga, the yoga of cultivating and harnessing sexual energy.
