Addiction is a health issue, not a social issue, not a crime, not a legal issue.
Our criminal justice system has swallowed up too many people I love.
All my characters have playlists.
Having been through the muck and mire, I've had my own brush with bad choices.
Music is always a part of my characters' make-up.
My job is to bring to life the character, not to put the words on the paper.
