My background as globetrotting international criminal did not prepare me for the deceit, treachery and sociopathic subterfuge of the Hollywood System, and the life of a writer. The motive behind my writing is simply that I cannot not write. I am a driven son-of-a-bitch.

My main achievement is that I never spent a night in jail. A close second is my having written three books and all of them are good reads. (I also wrote a children's book, but that was by accident.)

I also somehow survived the writing of my last book, a memoir, although it was close.
