Have been watching the forums for some time but somehow managed to never register.
I'm a writer of fiction and nonfiction; started out writing science fiction in the 1980s, moved on to horror, fantasy, and erotica, spent some time with crime fiction; now I write it as it comes. Edited a series called Noirotica; currently Managing Editor of Eros Zine. Worked at Good Vibrations for some years; before that worked at magazines called GettingIt and Gothic Net, before that worked in advertising. I teach at San Francisco Sex Information, and run Dr. Sketchy's Anti Art School, Barbary Coast Division, a burlesque-influenced figure drawing salon on 2nd and 4th Sundays at The Stud in San Francisco's beautiful South of Market district.
Interests include Mafia history, Victorian culture, firearms, perversion, decay.
