• My Radio Interview! Have a listen!

• When the Clouds Part: The Best Part of Writing

  Someone said (probably a famous writer whom I can’t remember) that writing a novel is like driving in the fog with one headlight out. I like that analogy because that’s the way I write. I have no idea where I’m going. I don’t know the climax, the end game, the resolution, or who takes whom…
