A writer with a deeply romantic, Victorian soul.  I love mystery, supernatural thrillers, thrillers in general, historical fiction & non-fiction, romance, intense psychological drams and the absurd.  I also love rain, cloudy days, autumn, snow/winter, nature, peace, Charles Bukowski, Tom Waites, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Frédéric François Chopin, David Lynch, philosophy, listening to people's favorite childhood memories (rosebud), Aristotle, Socrates and Plato, true Chivalry, humanity and my two favorite sounds: children laughing and the elderly laughing.  Peace.
