I'm an Australian writer (& reader) & would like to chat to anyone interested in those things.

I have been a novelist, journalist & screenwriter, tho lately, given the way the world is, I have more interest in political theory - specifically, democracy & how to fix it. I'm currently writing a long book on that, & am going to Greece mid-2018 to finish it.

I'm mildly aspie - socializing well at times, & at others needing solitude & recovery time.

I'm happy to communicate in a 'love & dating' context, or not.

Pericles was a great leader.

I am both writer and reader.

I am one too. Writing fiction can be very hard though.

I do pretty well when I can be Melvilleian and Dickensian.

I suck at dialogue, though. Though not as much as I used to.

Why would you want to go to Greece? You'd have to pay me to go there.

Greece has lots of history, nice mountains, nice islands.

Tourists aren't impacted by the domestic problems there.

Come on, Greece is full of refugees. I wouldn't even go to Italy.

Have you ever been to Greece?

I have.

Like most immigrants, they will assimilate, and their children will assimilate even more.

That's why the US is such a great nation: immigrants built the place in the 19th century.

No, I would never go to Greece, thanks to the Obama administration.

Since this is love and dating I assume you're looking for romantic stories?

I don't have any of that. I do have a book written, and ideas for several more once I get it published sometime this year.
