LINDYHOP! Writing, Reading, my vintage car and the never ending pursuit of stuff.
Music
Jazz, predominantly Swing bands from the 20s and 30s...Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Johnny Dodds, Jimmy Noone, Hot Lips Page, Sidney Bechet, Louis Armstrong...NOTHING by Glenn Miller...ever. Sorry, Glenny Boy. Outside of that I'm presently digging the Shins, Gillian Welch and Old Crow Medicine Show.
Movies
Star Wars, Goodfellas, Fight Club, Shawshank Redemption, Ground Hog day (actually just about anything with Bill Murray). LOVE Asian cinema, animated and otherwise.
Television
Haven't watched television in four years. But when I did? I was all about the Magnum PI!
Books
This is too hard to list...I'll read anything I can get my hands on and throw away anything that doesn't immediately hold my interest.
Heroes
My father and the close friends I have that inspire me.
About me: I'm an internationally published author and work predominantly in the field of American comic books (visit my other Myspace page here: Shane's Comics.)
When not writing about the exploits of world famous superheroes (or as a friend says, "Making shit up about guys in tights") I travel the world dancing and teaching the Lindyhop, the coolest freakin dance ever invented. I also own a dance school in Perth called "Swing It!"
Check that out here: Swing It!
