Although most have carried themes of social protest, the genres have included horror, science fiction and erotica. In addition to writing, I have spent the last twenty-four years teaching English composition, literature, cultural studies, ESL, and especially, creative writing. I have taught English in the United States, Costa Rica and Mexico. During my travels, I managed to earn my Ph.D. in literature and my TESOL certificate, and, in addition to fiction, I have published a few articles on topics such as literature, herpetology, and weightlifting. I like to read practically anything from comedy, Shakespeare, history and biographies to erotica, detective fiction and horror. I despise censorship in any form; I want to be able to read and write whatever I please. I am concerned about men's issues and the social oppression of political correctness.
I have lived in five states, and I have traveled to China and through a good part of Central and South America. I have generally found a greater sense of justice there for men. I live with my wife in Mexico. In addition to writing, I am now trying to improve my Spanish with my wife's help and get back into the gym. My wife and I also travel throughout Mexico and raise reptiles, including a ball python and a couple of turtles.view less
