Raymond Duane

Biography

Born in antiquity, I was raised with Robert Louis Stevenson, Walter Scott and Mark Twain. I'd spend Friday nights with my grandmother and she would read to me. With sound effects and excitement.
All I've ever wanted to be is a writer and dreamed of being Ernest Hemingway. (I got the drinking part right.)
I worked for the college paper; was founding editor of a weekly newspaper; and I did a lot of magazine work, including for adult entertainment.
That experience formed the basis of Noodle Boy in Porn Valley, which is very blue and very "adults only."
My fantasy books are for Jill, my wife, who loves dragon stories with strange creatures and magick. Sword and sorcery, with a blend of mystical philosophy about life and love. She and I wrote a dragon story titled Fort Jafra and we're working on a follow-up.
She and I published Unfinished Faces, a book of my poetry and her art. I also have written a few cookbooks. My characters like to eat.
These days, I'm in rural Central Valley, with Jill, three dogs and five kittens I found in a discarded box in the walnut grove.

Smashwords Interview

What inspires you to get out of bed each day?
My little doggies wake me up to start the day. I live in the country, so plenty of chores.
How do you discover the ebooks you read?
I'm more of a paper person. I like to find books at the library and thrift stores.
