Keith Adams perennially wonders how an abnormally tall, working-class boy from the North Sea coast of England ended up in a house in Hollywood with two dogs, and his partner, a leading medical research scientist at UCLA.

 

Although he writes for a living (computer code), he always hoped to do “real writing”, from experience. That opportunity came from being diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2006, after a serious brush with insanity.

 

At one point, he seriously believed he would be a combination gay superstar / epochal intellectual / latter day Messiah.

 

Quite obviously, he became none of those things, but he did survive the inevitable crash to tell the tale, thanks to the support of friends and family.

 

Keith lives in the Hollywood Hills, with his boyfriend Dr. Benhur Lee, and their two beautiful dogs, Indira and Dartagnan.

 

Keith is 6'6, 215, age 44 (as of Nov 2009). He grew up in England, and studied physics at the University of London, then did a grad degree at U of Penn in Philly, before moving to San Francisco, where, he claims, he would have lived to retire had Benhur not been on tenure track at UCLA.
