For some reason whenever I hear the word “introduce,” I am reminded of Mick Jagger’s haunting, menacing voice in the opening lines of “Sympathy for the Devil”: “Please allow me to introduce myself, I’m a man of wealth and taste.”

Unfortunately, I am not flush with money but I have a cornucopia of taste -- or some might say snobby affectation.

I have written a ton of stuff, but my record of getting stuff published is sorry and scant. I am also a lawyer, and my legal briefs have brought in some bucks and are sitting in several Courthouses.

I have written many hundreds of pages of non fiction essays on a broad range of subjects including politics, sexuality, religion and much more. In addition, I have authored hundreds of poems, many of which rhyme and are very rhythmic and this drives many people up the wall. Also, I wrote one novel, which is either a work of genius or grounds for the swift and irrevocable confinement of yours truly to an insane asylum. In addition I have many memoir-like pieces and things which are not easily categorized.

I want to get more of my stuff published, and I would be very appreciative to all those who can give me good advice.

Also, I am a hideous proof-reader so please pardon any departures from good English or any seeming lapses in logic

Sincerely,

David
