"Coagulating semen clung to the lock of grubby blonde hair dangling next to her cheek. Obviously not all of a previous load had gone down her throat. I guessed she wasn't concerned about the finer points of her appearance."

A.B. Patterson reading in France.

Every writer was a reader first, and every writer has to remain an avid reader, because nothing else comes close to teaching you the craft of writing.
Living life gives you the raw materials, along with your own imagination. It is other writers, however, who teach you to express yourself using the magic of language. This part of my website is dedicated to reading. It will grow as I add new pages to it. The list starts below. I hope perusing these pages will inspire you to read more! |

"Her champagne arrived and she swallowed half the glass in one hit. The girl could drink. She was climbing in my estimation faster than a rat up a drainpipe."
