Decadence is wonderful.

I write novels and other things.

...it is in the very fundamentals of evil that one always condemns it when they see it but rationalizes it when they do it.

I am also a Kentucky Colonel and an Honorary Mayor of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, among other things.

I have taught history on the high school and college levels, and am or have been a lecturer at the Smithsonian, The National Institutes of Health, and numerous colleges and universities, mostly on science fiction and technology subjects.
