I love bad movies, good television, lifting weights, find politics fascinating, truly enjoy a good conversation, and of course, books.
Music
Stevie Nicks, Fleetwood Mac, dance music, REM, and classics like Pat Benatar and Blondie. I also like some country music (Dixie Chicks, among others) and can get into anything with a good lyric and a strong hook.
Movies
I love the movie Showgirls, as well as the Harry Potter films, Addams Family Values, Mommie Dearest, Sixteen Candles, and classic movies with Hepburn, Davis, and Crawford, of course.
Television
Ugly Betty, Lost, Project Runway, The Riches, Dirt, Law and Order: SVU, Law and Order: Criminal Intent, and my ultimate guilty pleasure: Real World/Road Rules Challenges.
Books
Heroes
Patricia Nell Warren, Michelangelo Signorile, Felice Picano, Gloria Steinem, Paul Willis, Ian Philips and Greg Wharton, Dorothy Allison, Jewelle Gomez, and so many many others.
About me: I am the author of six books--all gay mysteries set in New Orleans--including MARDI GRAS MAMBO and MURDER IN THE RUE CHARTRES, which recently won the Lambda Literary Award for Best Men's Mystery (YAY!). I have a blog at http://scottynola.livejournal.com. I also have a story in the anthology NEW ORLEANS NOIR, edited by Julie Smith.
My next book, MURDER IN THE RUE URSULINES, was released November 1 2008. My next book, MURDER IN THE GARDEN DISTRICT, will be released in October of 2009. Have already scheduled a signing at Murder by the Book in Houston for November 7th. More dates to come.
And there will be another Scotty Bradley mystery: VIEUX CARRE VOODOO will be released in May of 2010.
Who I'd like to meet: Writers and people who are just in general interested in books. And of course, anyone who is not normal. I find normal to be overrated, don't you?
Greg, I thoroughly enjoyed reading Murder In The Rue Chartres - the first book I have read by you. I cannot believe I waited so long! I'm now now halfway through Murder in Rue Ursulines and loving it even more! I want to go back and read all the Chanse mysteries, if I can figure out the the first Chanse book; thanks for sharing your writing with the world! You rock!!!
Thanks for adding me greg Here’s this week’s Naked Truth Gay News In Review. I upload a new show to my page every Tuesday. In this week’s show I discuss state and federal laws that may offer some equality to the GLBT population and I address free speech and my latest stalker. Be sure to check out the other episodes on my myspace page if you like this one, and comment and share. Here’s the link where you can vote for my friend Jade (RuPaul’s Drag Race contestant, in the Kim Kardashian look alike contest. She needs our support.

About this page: I have been very active in Domestic Violence causes all of my adult life. I noticed a need in the world pertaining to Same Sex Domestic Violence. It happens more than people know. Unfortunately there are a number of gay people who barely consider themselves worthy or valued as a gay person much less a Domestic Violence Victim. There are also very limited resources, statistics, or information, for Same Sex Domestic Violence. Hopefully through empowerment and education we can change some of this. :D
Take a look at my new blog concerning Ken Starr's attempt to take California's Proposition 8 one step further by overturning the gay marriages performed last year in California.
haha. I love that you like bad movies. They have a certain value all their own. My most recent awesomely bad movie adventure was a, hmm, horror called "Voodoo Academy." ;)
I hope you have a GREAT Day!!!!
