Profile Information

Hometown:: Downtown Doswell, VA...for now.

About Me:: I'm a PI, an adjunct professor, and a writer. My dog is cuter than your dog. Nyaaa, nyaaa.

Website:: http://www.rhinoi.com

Books And Authors I Like:: Camus, Calvino, Eco, Benitez-Rojo, Maria Edgeworth. Ian Rankin. I love vampires and good, meaty mysteries that don't require too huge a helping of suspension of disbelief. Bonus points for naughty language and kinky sex.

Movies And TV Shows I Like:: Cassandra Crossing and Tank Girl: it's a tie. Best movies ever. Persuasion is a close second. Love Battlestar Galactica and almost anything sci-fi. Love British mystery series, and I think it's lame that they think 6 episodes is a season. What's up with that?
