John Charles - A writer and PR guy by trade, I've been in the business since 1987 when I sold my 1st piece to Playboy. My work has appeared in Rolling Stone, Baby Boomer, Newsweek, Psychology Today, Playboy, Omni, FHM, ASB magazine, and others.
I live in New York and need to cut down to one bagel a day.
It’s a great thrill to be part of the TrendHunter.com family!
