I'll work on this section as I get time to.  For now, I'll just list some of the things that readers of my stories probably ought to know about me.   I'm going to do this on a question and answer basis, with the questions culled from a couple dozen emails and private messages I've received since I started writing the my series of stories, as well as questions I've been asked in person in real life.

Q. I think I like you and I live in/near Los Angeles... Wanna get together and screw?
A. Believe it or not, I've actually been asked this--twice--by people who've read a story and decided to send me some email.  The short answer is no.   The long answer is not on your fucking life.  If I like you, you'll know it.   I'm not at all subtle.  If you have any doubts as to whether or not I like you, then I don't!  If I do, I'll follow you everywhere you go, laugh at your lamest jokes and I'll purposely be touchy-feely with you every chance I get.   Not to mention that there is almost nothing you could do that would annoy me.   Of course I'll also talk constantly about you to almost everyone I know and may even write a story or poem about us!  If you still think I might have a lust-clouded crush on you then be forewarned: If I do, I'll fuck you eventually.  If I don't and you make the first move, I'll end up spending the rest of my life avoiding you.

Q. What about the pictures?
A. Yes, on ocassion take my clothes off for photographers, both for professional and not-so-professional purposes.  Yes, I know there are semi-nude and (if you know where to look) full nude pictures of me on my personal site.  I certainly don't need any email informing me of these facts.  I had them put on the site, after all.  Because I have adult images on my site does not mean I want you to email me asking me for more, nor does it mean I want to talk about them.   If you're an agent with work, that's a different story, but don't try to play me, because the first thing I'll do is look you up in any of several agent directories that are available at work.  If you've made it this far, you're probably wondering why I keep such pictures up if I get hassled over them... I don't know and I don't worry about it, so neither should you.

Q. What about the stories?
A. Like the pictures... yes, I know I write (hopefully quality) erotica.   I did write them, after all.  Each and every story is rooted deep in true life experiences.  If you're in the market for "fluff" erotica--the typical male-oriented stroking material--you're probably better off reading some other author's stories.  There are plenty of authors on ASSTR and elsewhere who seem to specialize in this type of erotica.  If you're into true life stories that don't always have happy endings then my stuff might just be for you.

Q. Do I have to like John Travolta?
A. Hell yes you do!  John Travolta is a God and the film Pulp Fiction is really, really good.  Don't ever forget that.  It'll be on the test later if you make it that far.

Q. I sent you some feedback about your stories... why didn't you write back?
A. The straight up answer?  I usually don't.  I don't know you and I usually can't find much to say to people I don't know.  While I like to write, I'm not really a very talkative person, especially if it comes to discussing my life which from personal experience conversations about my stories generally turn into.  I find it's better to not respond to an email at all rather than to just stop corresponding without warning sometime down the road, which will invariably be the case ninety-nine percent of the time.  If you ask me if you want to hook up for a "good time" or if I want to be your "penpal" I definitely won't respond.   Not that you're probably (maybe) a great person, but if I traded emails with everyone who sent me an email I'd have absolutely no life other than sitting in front of a computer.

Q. In some of your story introductions you say you work in a small office in LA... what do you do?
A. This is not an easy question to answer.  I was hired as a receptionist/secretary, and while I still work in such a capacity I also spend a lot of time providing advice to clients and setting up appointments for clients.  It's not exactly the kind of job that I can really get into, but being able to work in the entertainment industry allows me to make contacts and network.  Since I'd like to one day be able to actually make a living acting--either stage or film/television--my job is the perfect "vehicle" for moving in that direction.  Or at least it seemed to be when I took it...

Q. Have you done any actual acting yet?
A. Yes and no.  I've done a couple of commercials, and I was an extra with two lines on a semi-popular primetime drama, but that's the extent of my acting career so far, with no big breaks in sight.

Q. You've really got problems, don't you?
A. You betcha!
