Someone said that all fiction is autobiographical however well disguised. Certainly this is psychologically true. Stephen King (I presume) never slashed anyone and perhaps never feared the knife, but he knew somehow to the tips of his toes what such experiences were like. And Shakespeare never ruled a kingdom nor advanced an army but he knew the burden. So maybe the autobiographical life of writers comes from both their personal experience and from their acute imaginings of events never lived. And in such imaginings comes the power and significance of fiction. It is a sharing of the reality of experience seen in the mind's eye that is the collaboration between writer and reader. One more thing. Ask yourself the question, as I used to ask my students: "What could be truer than fiction?" In fiction one can tell a truth--a psychological truth--that cannot otherwise be told. These stories were written, rewritten and polished over several decades beginning when I was a young man.

I've been a soldier, a newspaper reporter, a high school English teacher, a day trader and a poker professional. I've written literally millions of words in my career as a writer, and think of myself primarily as a writer. My work has appeared in popular publications like Playboy and Smoke magazines and in literary journals where it has won some minor awards. My novel A Perfectly Natural Act gained royalty publication from G.P. Putnam's in 1973 and was brought out in paperback the following year by Pinnacle. First Artists was considering an option on it when they went defunct. The novel would make a rather good movie. (Maybe I'll write the screenplay one of these days.) Additionally, I've written over fifteen hundred reviews (over a million words in all!) for various Web sites, most notably Amazon and the Internet Movie Database. Some of my reviews are among the best appearing anywhere. Over the years I've also written about a dozen book-length manuscripts. My project now is to present perhaps eight to ten of these manuscripts before the public in book form. I was graduated from UCLA in 1969 with a major in Political Science and minor in English Literature.
