 I am often asked for bibliographic and personal details dating  in both English and French.  I do appreciate being asked for such details by critics, journalists, readers, and so forth.  How could I not?  But I don't know the answers myself often, and even when I do, as every writer and so forth will admit, it gets dreary to have to give the same answers to the same questions over and over again.  Believe me the Wikipedias remember more about me than I do myself and they are honest and neutral, if not 100% accurate.       So here they are directly.    And a direct link to all the YouTube videos I've done all by myself--songs, comedy, politics, phony ads, reportage, all lined up with a single direct click.

WHAT DOESN'T KILL LOVE MAKES IT STRONGER

                                    WHAT DOESN'T KILL LOVE MAKES IT STRONGER Dona Sadock and I have lived a half century long love affair and counting, and not a simple or conventional one.  We met at a literary conference in Milford Pennsylvania in 1965.  I had just published my first novel and was on my way from New York to California on a great road adventure, she was going to go to Europe. It was not love at first sight for me, it was love at first conversation. When the conference was over, I told her to get in the car with me, not really believing she would, and she didn't. I ended up chasing her back and forth between California and New York, never exactly catching her, but our destiny together had begun.
