"the best way to know life is to love many things." -- Van Gogh
Music
Check out Attic of Love's myspace, or click the album covers to buy on cd baby for a few lousy bucks you'll probably blow on booze anyway
Also available: our new bass player's first solo album. "The Precipice" by Tully MacKay-Tisbert. If you haven't heard it yet you don't know what you're missing.
Movies
I keep going to every new science fiction film only to have my hopes dashed against the rocks of Hollywood ignorance and mediocrity yet again.
Television
Better yet, shoot your kids up with heroin. It's more fun and less addicting.

About me: I'm a science fiction writer and a musician. I've been told those things don't usually mix, but they're working out ok for me. My band's name is ATTIC OF LOVE and I'd love to meet you at a show sometime. I've been short listed for the Sidewise Award for alternate history fiction, and I've won the Mary Shelley Award and the Writers of the Future Award. I have a novel available from Lachesis Publishing.Check it out on Amazon.com.
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
Who I'd like to meet: The most interesting people to me usually don't seem to fit in anywhere. often they are the dirty, smelly losers some phoney wannabe screenwriter/actor/producer steps over without noticing on their way to the starbucks counter for their double latte, while they dial their cell and dream about how famous their uninspired rip off of i dream of genie is going to make them. ok, the highly distracted and entitled can be interesting, too... usually after they've lost everything and had to earn what they already think makes them better than everybody else.
Also, I'd like to meet Ayaan Hirsi Ali. What an amazing spirit.
And if there's anyone i really wish i could have met it's Malcolm X. i can remember seeing him on the news when i was kid and thinking how i wanted to be like him. i also remember watching my parents shifting uncomfortably in their chairs. Malcolm X should have been the president of the united states. instead he was assassinated in front of his family while the authorities looked on. welcome to america, baby.

Chicks dig scars, everyone knows that, right? Meet Severence DeSnappio, a man who creates ‘fake’ injuries for desperate clients. He’ll get you a stab wound, shot gun blast, snowboarding injury - but a bite from a great white shark?
Set in Miami, Chicks Dig scars is a lyrical, Lynchian mix of dream logic and hard boiled detection.
