About me

Gender	Male
Occupation	Writer
Location	Los Angeles, CA, United States
Interests	Spies are an ongoing interest, in film, fiction and comics, ever since I was a kid. But I love plenty of movies with nary a secret agent to be found! Other favorite genres of the moment include Hammer, giallo, Sherlock Holmes, and my latest kick, Eighties barbarian movies. Pretty much anything from the Sixties is alright with me, especially if it's British. And double-especially if it DOES have spies! I post on certain blogs and forums as "Brisco." I should have used that as my Blogger username too, to avoid confusion, but I was too tempted to perpetuate the whole "Double O Section" thing and be Tanner, after Fleming's Secret Service Chief of Staff, Bill Tanner.
Favorite Movies	On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Raiders of the Lost Ark, A Very Long Engagement, Dr. Strangelove, Star Wars, Danger: Diabolik, Hellboy, Evil Dead 2, V For Vendetta, Lord of the Rings, The President's Analyst, Billion Dollar Brain, Deadlier Than the Male, The Pink Panther, The Italian Job, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, all James Bond... lots more.
Favorite Music	Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, Tori Amos, Pulp, Iggy Pop, Arcade Fire, Aimee Mann, Placebo, John Barry, Portishead, Roxy Music, Cockney Rebel, New York Dolls, Jarvis Cocker, T-Rex, The Kinks, Rilo Kiley, Peaches, so much more...
Favorite Books	Ian Fleming, Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, Arthur Conan Doyle, J.K. Rowling, Mark Gatiss, Andrew Vachss, Mike Mignola, all sorts of spy novels and pulp fiction like The Shadow...
