Mid-60's and climbing. Taught writing for 20 years but only expos and research. Now that I'm past the age anyone will care, I'm writing fiction and poetry again. As a fan of Golden Age mysteries, those guide much of my writing but I don't get locked into any one genre. The short story "Tippler's Travels," for example is as much Jeeves and Wooster and Jerome K Jerome as Edmund Crispin and Dorothy Sayers.
