According to this author, My books are full of sassy opinions." Further, "I owe a lot to PG Wodehouse, and maybe he owes me back."

Richard and his wife live in San Miguel de Allende, in Mexico. About this charming place, Richard shares, "We love it because every day doings are like short stories: V. Woolfe misunderstandings, Wodehouse complications and Tom Wolfe complexities. The children's dress shop carries dog food. The FAX center is in a restaurant, and the internet cafe in a laundry. Our gardener (courtyard and roof) is also a waiter in a Zen-like upscale restaurant. A high-school principal practices law and is a tour guide on a tourist bus."

BelAir, California

Except Forbes Magazine, of course, to whom he never
answers. Cyrus Bull has more money than his wife knows
about. Or anyone else.
   "Then just tell this reporter about one or two ways you
made some. He'll be satisfied." Mrs. Bull doesn't mind being
helpful provided it doesn't inconvenience her.

the underside of it. There just is no straightforward A-B-C
deal that he can remember.
   "Is this reporter the one who called you 'the high wire act
