He also loves good food, good drinks, photography, good food again (he states that he has a tapeworm he must feed, too), hours-long conversations, museums, snowboarding, and traveling both domestically and abroad. Inspiration for his writings come from all of these different areas. "There is so much to experience, see, and tell in this world-it doesn't matter if you're at the grocery store buying lettuce, or stuck in a carpet shop located in a dark back alley in Istanbul getting threatened to buy an overpriced rug (true story!); inspiration is everywhere. Sometimes truth is wackier than fiction."
Between being a worker bee, social butterfly, and succumbing to frequent cravings of wanderlust and Tex-Mex cuisine ("if it's REALLY good, it will put you in a food coma"), Gordon continues to find time to write.view less
