Frank Sinatra, Jr.Aging is a staircase - the upward ascension of the human spirit, bringing us into wisdom, wholeness and authenticity. As you may know, the entire world operates on a universal law: entropy, the second law of thermodynamics.

There's only one exception to this universal law, and that is the human spirit, which can continue to evolve upwards.

Benjamin BrattA is for Alibi, my first book, was published in 1982. As it happened the next couple of books took place in June and August of that year.

Sue GraftonCareless of waste, wallowing in refuse, exterminating the enemies . . . despising age, denying human natural history, fabricating pseudotraditions, swamped in the repeated personal crises of the aging preadolescent; all are familiar images of American society.

And then I laughed, and then I thought about how precisely that would happen. That's how the book came to be.
