Most of my stories take place in the 1930's. I find that era fascinating, and if somebody invented a time machine, THAT would be the era I'd want to visit. I also tend to write about American characters as I find then endearingly eccentric, namely H.P. Lovecraft, Charles Fort, Circus people, farm people caught up in the Great depression, and so on. (I guess the foreign is always what draws your love.)

You steal those, too?


To quote Mark Twain, "Immature humorists borrow, mature humorists steal."
