David Cristofanos debut novel captures the essence of the human spirit, and delivers a story that is simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking.

I have way too much going on, as usual, but fortunately it's all good stuff. I'm not complaining.

The modern media environment is so overrun with bullshit and static and people trying to sell you stupid crap. It makes you want to bite yourself.

I can only imagine the quiet horror that people must endure when they meet me in person.

People love honesty. Honesty is medicinal, I think. It makes people feel less lonely in the world.

I feel like it's a good time to be a writer. I'm terminally optimistic. It seems like the publishing industry is in the middle of a big transition, and that the rules of the game are still sorting themselves out.

To do my job well, I have to be a good listener. The listening is so much more important than the talking.
