Probably the only vaguely interesting thing about me is that with my wife, Mary Reed, I co-author the John the Eunuch mystery series set in sixth century Constantinople. But that doesn't stop me from dwelling here on the boring minutiae of the rest of my life, present and past, along with the occasional word about writing.

Ten Things
1. Survived drinking a sixpack of Fox Head beer.
2. Set an orienteering course.
3. Cooked up my own hectograph gelatine and printed several issues of an amateur magazine on it.
4. A cartoon character I made up in fifth grade appeared (on the label of a packing crate in a warehouse) in a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book.
5 Saw the Kinks at the Fillmore East (and the Ramones on their farewell tour and precious little in between)
6 Had one law school class where music contracts were explained by Debbie Harry, and another where ethics were explained by Roy Cohn.
7 Wrote anti-war columns (Vietnam) for a local weekly newspaper run by a fellow who went on to become a *Republican* Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor.
8 Got my hair cut in spikes by the same guy who messed up the hair for all the big punk bands who played CBGBs.
9 Cooked a batch of chili with 6 tablespoons of Cayenne pepper rather than chili powder (Hey. Same color!)
10 Co-wrote five novels (so far) and about 20 stories with my wife...and we are still married.
