I'm a neurotic New York Jew by birth. Creating characters is second nature to me.
When someone writes to tell me something I've written made them laugh or cry, I've done my job and done it well. The rest is all semantics.
A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.
The villain is always more entertaining because he has fewer limitations. The hero is bound by honor, by justice and by the law, sometimes.
These days, it seems that if you're not already in place, you can't get there from here.
I've always thought of myself as an organic writer, rather than a cerebral one. I feel my way along as I go, hoping I'll get to the place I intend to reach.
