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.

My new book, Can't You Get Along With Anyone? A Writer's Memoir and a Tale of a Lost Surfer's Paradise -- the book that nearly killed me to write (three times) -- broke 1,000 in Amazon sales ranking within a week of its U.S. publication and garnered 70-plus Amazon Reader Reviews (based on the UK edition), all but four 5-stars. More than a few readers say the book changed their lives, or the way they see the world. This book is my life's major achievement. Go to its Amazon page, which can be reached via www.banditobooks.com/amazon, see what readers have to say about the book, maybe buy it. Or go to www.banditobooks.com and buy it through the publisher. My first two books are a semi-autobiographical novel entitled Cosmic Banditos, and my first memoir, In Search of Captain Zero. Both books have been bought for the movie, by John Cusack and Sean Penn, respectively,
