Robert Zoltan

Robert Szeles (pronounced saylesh) is an author, award-winning songwriter and music producer, graphic designer, illustrator, photographer, video director and accomplished swing and blues dancer. One of his songs placed third in the largest independent song competition in the world. Music from his band, Kiss the Girl, is regularly heard on major television shows and film trailers. He has previously illustrated two book covers for Simon and Schuster. His past web design clients include the Intercontinental Hotel San Francisco. He was recently a featured performer in a partner blues dance for an awards show at the Hollywood Celebrity Center.

Two of his Jack & Dora stories were previously published in the excellent erotic arts and literature online magazine Lucrezia (no longer available). His stories explore the dynamics of male/female interaction, romantic love, sexuality, relationship forms, questions of reality, altered states of perception and the general crazy and sometimes comical mystery of existence. He loves writing about Hollywood and California. He explores these topics and their place in American culture in his weekly blog Sex and The Single Author.

His literary heroes are Gore Vidal, Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, John Fowles, Fritz Leiber, Kurt Vonnegut and Philip K. Dick, amongst others.

Robert lives in the Silverlake neighborhood of Los Angeles and belongs to the small group of literary misfits called the Miracle Mile Writer's Club.
