I guess you can describe me as a one-time traveling consultant throughout the US and Europe with a life-long interest in the subject. Writing stories filled the long nights in nameless hotel rooms. I try to give my characters and the plot a bit more than "hello - panties down -- now spank"; in fact I hate stories where the author has to resort to uppercase words like SMACK, SPANK, ETC. to describe the action. It shows immaturity and a lack of imagination. So much for my little rant.

I am retired and given up my frequent flyer miles and Platinum status at Marriott. Things are much quieter now and as you know, Life is Good.
