"Biography adds death a new terror." - Oscar Wilde- I think this quote especially applies to dilettants like myself. Formerly from NYC, I currently reside in sunny south FL. where my life resembles one of the seedier Carl Hiassan novels. Like all good neophytes, developing their craft by whatever means available, I find myself here. And while I am entirely weary of the online forum, am enthusiastic to endure the verbal lashings which my indulgent short-stories are sure to inspire.
