Ugliness is an illusion, gentlemen. Like beauty. Like color. All depends on the light. The only reality is action.

If you take a shot at someone, you keep firing until they can no longer return fire. Wound them, and you have an angry enemy who knows your position.

We're all going to die sometime, so you might as well die pushing the odds for something that matters.

I love being pushed out of my comfort zone.

My books deliberately provide no answers or messages. Im drilled in the habit of objectivity and also aware that the steady drip of fiction has more power than facts to shape opinion, so I handle it with caution.

Think of yourselves as a hand. Each of you is a finger, and without the others you're useless. Alone, a finger can't grasp, or control, or form a fist. You are nothing on your own, and everything together.
