I write speculative fiction, mostly about werewolves and vampires, spies, cops, and even romance. My other passion is blues guitar. On the Crossroads blues forum I'm known as Bluespower58.
Music
Stevie Ray Vaughan, Tommy Castro, Jimmy Thackery, Coco Montoya, Eric Clapton, the three Kings of the Blues -- that's Freddie, Albert and B.B. King, for those of you who are "blues challenged" -- Johnny "Clyde" Copeland, Albert Collins, Eugene "Hideaway" Bridges, Debbie Davies, Tab Benoit, Luther Allison...and many, many more.
Movies
Underworld, Underworld Evolution, Predator, Alien(s), most of the James Bond pictures, LeMans (with Steve McQueen and the awesome Porsche 917), The Battle of Britain (Spitfires!), Sin City...um...I'm sure there are others...
Books
I loved all of the early Anita Blake books by Laurel K. Hamilton. Unfortunately, the series went porno sometime after Blue Moon. Now I'm into Slade, Nancy Kilpatrick, Karen E. Taylor and Chelsea Quinn Yarbro. I read all of the Sonja Blue books, the Silver Wolf trilogy by Alice Borchardt (she is Ann Rice's sister, btw), and I also liked Mick Farren's vampire series. Occasionally I sneak in a supernatural romance if it's got either vampires or werewolves. Heck, I'll admit it -- if it has fangs, fur and/or claws, I'll try it.
Heroes
First and foremost, my parents and my wife. After them, anyone who takes the time to read one of my stories.
