My Time Off
I basically work two jobs. One is the day job that pays the bills. The other is writing. I write because I love it. It’s a good thing too because if I thought it would make me rich, boy would I have been mistaken. The only authors who get rich are those on the NY [...]
Why I Write.

Research
While I’m not the most fervent of researchers, I do try to study what I’m writing about when working on a project. I guess that’s more than I can say for some reporters who recently used the deliberate misquote of an Irish university student after the death of Maurice Jarre after the French composer’s death.
