      Jul 4, 2024

      Most of the time I’m about as mystical as a brick, but when it comes to writing suddenly the world is imbued with higher truths. One of these truths, at least in my experience, is that stories come from a place deep inside us, way below the conscious

      Write What You Want to Read

      Aug 14, 2024

      WHEN my fourth novel came out in 1989, one review was short and to the point: “This happens, then that happens, then this other thing happens. So what?” Bad reviews break a writer’s heart, but this one did something different. It stopped me cold. So

      INTRODUCTION

      Memory is a funny thing. Mine is, at least. In many ways, I would characterize it as well below average. Events in my life—often events that seemed enormously significant at the time—have turned to vapor. People’s names, their faces, details of their lives and their families’ lives elude me. Entire conversations have been misfiled, or they’ve disappeared altogether. I once spent several weeks trying to remember whether a great aunt of mine was alive or dead.
