edit data

I've been writing for about 40 years. I read a lot of non-fiction and biography and usually review what I read. I used to read urban fantasy, but there's too much coal and not enough diamonds.

My first few books featured gay men. I now write stories with all kinds of characters.

Interests: Magic(k), Occult, angsty grunge and 80's music, John Barrowman, City of Heroes game (Now called "COH: Homecoming"), murder mystery TV series.

My closet interests: Demons (aka "Spirits"), writing style books, Neil Diamond, disco and Motown. Columbo, cozy mysteries, short stories, politics. ...more

L.A.’s Quotes

“A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot.”
