In Loquaciousness Lay Insanity.

I Enjoy Listening To Classical Music And Heavy Metal. I Play Basketball And Try To Go Diving At Least Once A Year. I Don't Really Have Hobbies In The Traditional Sense... I Engage In Too Many Activities Already Through The Actions Of My Characters.

Writing Allows Me The Time To Travel And See The World, Which Is What I Always Wanted To Do. I'd Really Like To Have Been Sir Richard Francis Burton, But It's The Wrong Century.

There Is Nothing In Art, In Philosophy, Or In Politics To Match The Fervor Of Mutual Cooperation Among Discordant Bands Of Fanatics.

Living Gives You A Better Understanding Of Life. I Would Hope That My Characters Have Become Deeper And More Rounded Personalities. Wider Travels Have Given Me Considerably Greater Insight Into How Cultural Differences Affect Not Only People, But Politics And Art.

Besides The Mistakes That Are Pointed Out, I Love The Way Readers Become Involved With The Characters. When Readers Start Asking About Character Motivations Instead Of Concentrating On The Special Effects, It Means You're Connecting With Them On A Personal Level.
