• Goals?

  

  I haven’t always been good about keeping goals. Let’s not do the New Year’s Resolution thing, all right? Plenty of failure there. But I’ve noticed something.

  Put this one in the category of never giving up on a project. About 10-12 years ago I got up the gumption to write a novel – something I had never attempted before. I had a certain premise in mind, 3 generations of Americans who had somehow been affected by Vietnam – one at the…
