To write you had to read so I backed into reading.

I have a theory... that someplace at the heart of most compelling stories is something that doesn't make sense.

I went to college to study hospitality. I quickly got out of that and realized that what I liked to do was write.

Maybe I'm a serial regional writer. First here, then there, across the map.

What was our life like? I almost don't remember now. Though I remember it, the space of time it occupied. And I remember it fondly.

Writing never came naturally and I still have to force my hand to do it.

When I write a novel I start each morning by reading for 20 minutes.
