Biography

All the world's a comedy stage and each must play a clown. We're none of us totally sane. Actually, there's NO such thing as total sanity. You can't even define it. So laugh while you can. It doesn't cost a bleeding cent and you get your emotional rocks off. Who knows what tomorrow may bring? Circumstance doesn't always turn out the way you want it to and chance is a bitch, more often than not.

Having said this much, I don't have to explain why I write the way I do. I'd like to think that what I churn out is stuff you'll either love or loath. No halfway house, please. My life has always vacillated between extremes. And if we ever meet, give me a warm handshake -- or give me sufficient warning that you're going for my throat. I'll be publishing more madness on Smashwords as often as I can. And I'll be churning out and uploading more and more until that glorious day when they come to take me away.

Smashwords Interview

What does writing mean to you?
Writing is to me a most spontaneous way of outpouring -- and there's a lot within me that needs to be frequently regurgitated. Like everyone else I have opinions, unanswerable questions, aspirations, dreams, frustrations, fears, uncertainties -- you name them, I'm choked full with them. It's not easy to get others to listen to you. Sometimes they yawn in your face. At other times they stop you before you've uttered a dozen words and ask you to listen for a change. So I write. And when I write, I get say what I want to say -- and nobody tells me to go away or to just shut the hell up. It's a really beautiful and rewarding pastime. You should try it. It also enhances your inner growth, whatever the heck that means. It's much like to talking to yourself. I do a lot of that -- out loud. That's why when people meet me on the street they just smile and say hello -- but never draw too close.
What is the most important thing in life to you?
Sorry, you need to make that "the TWO most important things in life". I need both to be really happy. The first is health -- in both mind and body. There's no point being as strong as an ox while my mind functions like Mister Bean's, is there? So much for health. The second thing that completes my happiness is dough (which has no relation to flour). Yes, yes, it's the money, honey! How many times will you let me date you if I can't pick up the tab? On a more serious note, we all need those little pieces of coloured paper wherever we go and whatever we do. In this materialistic existence we all go through, we start spending as soon as we open our eyes each morning. You think not? Think about brushing your teeth and taking your bath and using the loo. All that water must be PAID for, my friends -- in currency, not words of appreciation. I think I've explained myself sufficiently, So I won't say more. Next interrogation!

You've heard of the Dance of the Seven Veils. You've seen Rita Hayworth do it on screen. But you've never come across a more horrendous re-telling of how Salome, patron saint of stripteasers, was paid for her choreographic efforts with the head of a prophet. Read on and be stunned.

Some guys positively hate it. They say it’s like wading in water with your socks on. Of course sex is a whole lot more enjoyable without an artificial skin that’s always in the way. Yet between six and nine billion condoms are used each year all over the world. Which proves, beyond doubt, that man’s favorite sport isn’t not football – no, not even during the World Cup series.

What is a friend? When we try to define friendship we find it is not so easy.

Here is a heart-warming interpretation of what true friendship really means and how it enriches our days and our lives -- in bright moments as well as the darkest hours.

An original rendition of the death scene of Cleopatra, presented in the form of a dialogue between the Egyptian queen and her handmaiden, Charmion.
