A Major Theme In All My Books

I Just Look At What's Going On In The World.

When I Was Writing My First Novel A Friend Told Me I Should Apply For A Grant From The Government That Was Offered To Support Starving Artists. I Can't Tell You How Much This Deeply Offended Me. I Told Her In Very Clear Language That I Thought It Was Ridiculous To Think That Other Americans Ought To Pay For Me To Chase My Dream. Anybody Who Understands Pride And Self-determination Gets This. So I Bartended At Night, I Wrote During The Day, And I Paid For My Own Damn Insurance. I Didn't Expect Anybody Else To Pick It Up For Me.
