Cities Produce In Me Melancholy Or A

My Father Is A Practicing Criminal Law Attorney In The Seattle Area.

When I Went To College I Took A Creative Writing Class And Decided In A Week To Be A Writer.

I Became Paralyzed As An Artist With Writer's Block.

I Write Because Something Inner And Unconscious Forces Me To. That Is The First Compulsion. The Second Is One Of Ethical And Moral Duty. I Feel Responsible To Tell Stories That Inspire Readers To Consider More Deeply Who They Are.

Even Though I May Not Intend It When I Set Out To Write The Book, These Places Just Emerge As Major Players In What I'm Doing, Almost As If They Are Insisting On It.
