What are my interests apart from wine, women, and song? Well, I love controversy. political robust argument and satire. I write plays, poetry, and lyrics and now I'm attempting flash fiction and novel writing. My background is journalism and teaching English and drama. I believe in Newton's theory of gravity because an apple dropped on my head too. What more can I say? Perhaps I've said too much already. Love to meet you all.Europe 918.jpg
