ATLANTA NIGHTS is sure to please the reader who enjoys this sort of thing.

Neal had a couple of good ideas and they fit nicely, so that's the way I decided to go.

A hero is someone who simply got too frightened to use his good sense and run away, then somehow lived through it all.

The issue of the Betrayal was so central to that, I felt the need to comment upon it. My choices were to ignore the games and put them 'outside' of continuity or to integrate them. I chose the latter.

I'm a huge fan of Cabernet and Bordeaux, and am passionate about Pinot Noir and Burgundies.

Friends can betray you, but with an old enemy, you always know where you stand.

The past can be a terrible weight bound to you by an unbreakable chain. You can drag it with you, forever looking over your shoulder at what holds you back. Or you can let it go and move forward. It’s your choice.
