Interests & Hobbies
I spend most of my time writing, reading and researching, but manage to find a few hours here and there to play piano, work on some of my 1930s-style compositions and/or peruse Seattle’s bookstores in search of vintage etiquette, dating and sex manuals for my growing collection.
