Brian Dolton has spent the last twenty years trying to amass enough interesting life experiences so that his writer's bio will make him appear far more interesting than he actually is. He has ridden a camel in the Sahara, stayed in a Zen monastery on a holy mountain in Japan, and played volleyball on a sandbar in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Now these distractions are out of the way, and now he has moved from rural England to small-town New Mexico, he can finally concentrate on sitting at a computer and writing.
