About me:
SEX!!!! Got your attention? Or have I turned you off already? Whatever. Don't worry, I'm not Atilla. I'm Chuck. I have travelled all around the world and lived in many strange and SEXciting places. I have eaten many strange and SEXotic things. Lately I have been concentrating on writing so I try not to think about SEX. I'm working on a book about London in the SEXTIES. There will be lots of SEX and NAME-DROPPING and other COOL STUFF in it including exciting cameo appearances from the likes of Robert Fraser, John Dunbar, William Burroughs, John Lennon and even Rod Stewart. If I live long enough to finish it.
Hey Tom...(where is he when you need him?)...the paragraph space thingy doesn't work.
I used to live in Bangkok where there is AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF SEX. Not that I had any time for it. I was too busy getting a book written and published. It's called 'Losing the Plot'. It's a heart-warming story about a reformed SEX addict. If you're interested you can buy a copy or two

Who I'd like to meet: George Clooney and/or Nic Cage. (It's about a screenplay). Sofia Coppola or Oliver Stone would be fine too.
Towers open fire? That was supposed to be the Little Britain sketch where Dudley finds Ting Tong's mum in the cupboard. Very funny.

"Drowning in Soho." A novel by John Zur.
A novel to reinvent novels, "Drowning in Soho" is an unforgettable romantic tragedy told in second person narrative. Centered around an adolescent writer struggling to find himself while attending college in New York City, it is at the invitation of his best friend, Noah Waters, to escape to Portland, Oregon that sends the writer’s world into introspection. In the dreary and damp Northwest, a friendship fades where a romance begins; and at the center of this compelling story of social relationships is Phoebe Love, an attractive and free-spirited young woman whose zeal for life is triumphed only by her unrestricted love of others. Life’s curiosities, first time experiences, and memorable characters comprise of an unpredictable storyline steeped in emotion, imagination, and hope.
Hi again. How has your month gone? Good, I hope. Are you ready for the holiday season again? It seems to come around faster every year. Have a great week.
