2 About Me

And now, a few disclosures, so you'll have a better sense "where I'm coming from."

First, I'm a devout Catholic, though I differ with my Church on several of its pronouncements about sex. I believe that God gave us our sexual natures and desires as a tool by which we can propagate our species, bond with one another, and make one another happy. Though sex can be misused and abused, it's no more inherently evil than anything else people might do with their bodies. All the same, I hold that sex must not be used to assert power over another, nor to wound, betray, nor punish. If there is joy, the desire to give as well as receive pleasure, and the willingness to accept the consequences in their entirety, sex is no more sinful than watching television...and a lot more fun, especially considering some of the crap that pours out of the idiot box these days. (Sitcoms! Sheesh!)

Second: I'll allow that sometimes I write rather formally, sometimes even archaically. Partly that's because I'm wiser than my age, educated at a time of greater formality about the English language and its use, but mostly it's because I prefer that kind of diction to the looser and more colloquial form that's prevalent today. "You pays your money and you takes your choice." And no, I do not have a broom handle up my ass.

Third, I write on many subjects, including software engineering, management, politics, philosophy, religion and matters of faith. My fiction spans fantasy, science fiction, contemporary suspense, political intrigue, romance, and even a little humor. If you like the stuff I'm posting here, you're likely to enjoy some of the other stuff too, nearly all of which is available on line. Yes, I'm going to shamelessly promote my other books, which by the way are still not on Webnovel.

And as I'm going to start narrating my journey from being a writer to a vampire, I just want to wish for all of you - may God bless and keep you all, whatever your particular kink!
