I am hard to define

 I have an eclectic taste

A man of many tastes

Over my life, I have been asked many times who, or what do I like the most?

My answer is always the same.

It is easier for me to tell you who, or what I dislike.

The only thing for certain is I dislike films, or books which depict violence for its own sake.

When I was a writer, I never wrote sex stories; I have nothing against sex in a story, but I couldn't write a story were sex is the theme, I did try once. To clarify the point, I have written stories with sex in. A little rough sex is good for a story, my view, but I once wrote a series of stories for a lady in London, what aroused her was blood-letting, but were does that lead?

In 2012, I got my only offer of a contract by a firm in Miami, Florida, which I turned down on those grounds. That was the only offer I had in 16 years as a writer, for months I asked myself, did I do the right thing? Several friends commented, if you're asking yourself the question, in your heart you know the answer.

I checked on the site later, to find it had either closed down, or been forced to close. A friend who joined the firm at the time of my offer told me, she sold more of her books than the site did.

When I had a reputation to consider, I would second guess my replies to requests, now, with no sales, or reputation to think of, all that matters is could I write the story?

One strange request came from San Diego, California. I was asked to write some fake reviews to boost products, the odd aspect of the request is it came from a person "claiming" to be a lawyer.
