Pike Put Down The Cat. He Slid

Some Of Us Find Our Way With A Single Light To Guide Us; Others Lose Themselves Even When The Star Field Is As Sharp As A Neon Ceiling. Ethics May Not Be Situational, But Feelings Are. We Learn To Adjust, And, Over Time, The Stars We Use To Guide Ourselves Come To Reside Within Rather Than Without.

L.a.'s Magic Has Let Me See Every Level Of The Dream.

Pike Put Down The Cat. He Slid From Pike's Arms Like Molasses And Puddled At His Feet.

I Had A Big Akita, Yoshi, Who Was Fabulous. I Loved Him. We Lost Him When He Was 12, And I've Never Been Able To Replace Him. Normally, Most People Lose A Pet And Get Another And Keep Going On. But It Just Felt Wrong To Me; It Felt Disloyal.

My Fiction Is Almost Always Inspired By A Character's Need Or Desire To Rise Above Him- Or Herself. No One Is Perfect And Some Of Us Have Much Adversity In Our Lives; It Is Those People Who Struggle To Rise Above Their Nature Or Background That I Find The Most Interesting And Heroic.
