The honest answer is that I don’t entirely know. I have never been drawn to old graveyards (a&#160;taphophile) the way I am drawn to old libraries (a&#160;bibliophile). Yet there are many similarities. Reading the stones...]]></description>

I’m not a techie, I’m a sixty-eight-year-old former evangelical arts minister living in uptown Barcelona who still thinks his best ideas arrive in dreams. I...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Author Comments About the New Erotic Gothic Serial The Mysteries of Barcelona. Montse watched Chloé for ten years before she ever touched her. She was artificial then.
