I am a morning show host in Greenville, South Carolina. (www.hawkandtom.com) I was born and raised in Florida and enjoy a wide variety of fiction. I prefer sci-fi as a genre, but am open to and interested in many different styles. I enjoy computers, cars, racing, guns and music. I am fairly Libertarian when it comes to politics, although that may, or may not, determine whether I like a story. In other words, I can read something that comes from a different point of view than I subscribe to, but if it is too extremely far from my political views I probably won't like it. A good example is Robert Sawyer who I devour, but disagree with his Canadian-centric viewpoint. He's a very good writer, so that is all I care about in his stories, although he does irritate me from time to time.

Favorite writers:

Orson Scott Card
Robert Sawyer
Ayn Rand
Stephen King (preferrably his older stuff, although Cell was a decent return to his forte)
Sean Stewart
James P Hogan
Dean Koontz
John Grisham
David Brin
Temple Grandin « less
