After enjoying a long career as a professional pianist, I am now semi-retired. Always
a voracious and omnivorous reader, I've spent the past decade pursuing a life dream by
reinventing myself as a novelist. Under the pen name "P.D. Quaver," I completed a nine
volume series of historical novels. Entitled "The Ordeals of Elly Robin," they recount the
adventures of a young musical prodigy, orphaned by the Great San Francisco Earthquake
of 1906, and cast adrift upon the world.
Something of a Luddite, I've managed to resist the siren attractions of the internet,
and--with no social footprint whatsoever--have elected to preserve this anonymity by

This question is surely intended to prompt fantasies of life in some dragon-infested
dystopia, or universe far, far away. But life on our own planet a mere two centuries ago,
before we despoiled it (and humankind was homogenized into a jeans-clad throng) would

Jack Aubrey's loyal crew, battling the French and Spanish navies for gloriously rich prizes,
exploring teeming oriental cities, and helping Steven Maturin preserve and catalogue
specimens of obscure flora and fauna from various exotic locales.

Horror isn't really my thing. But here's vaguely-remembered true story--one that can
be succinctly told--that has always filled me with horror:
A tearful teenage girl, in some tropical Asian country, tenderly places the basket
containing her new-born babe beside the gate of a rich family's mansion, hoping its
discovery will lead to a better life for her child. But the family's limousines drive in and
out of the gate without noticing the shrubbery-shrouded basket, and it is the ants that
discover it.
