Beats me. I’ve been writing like crazy for four months now. Mostly to crickets and tumbleweed. Dollar Bill on Showtime’s “Billions” is loosely based on me. I know that because there are specifics in the character that indicate the scriptwriters were reading my old escort blog.

And then it turned out that one of my readers who’d been commenting and emailing me for years sent me a last email revealing that he was the actor playing Dollar Bill on “Billions.” We went out on and got drunk one night. It was the guy!
