The Wounds That Never Heal Can Only

I Try To Write Books That Are Different From The Books I've Already Written. I Think One Of The Thing I Really Try To Do Is Reinvent How A Novel Can Be Written.

This Moment And This Chance, They Are The Same, And They Are Mine If I Choose Them,and I Do. I Want Them. Now And As Long As I Can Have Them They Are Both Precious And Fleeting And Gone In The Blink Of An Eye, Don't Waste Them. A Moment And An Opportunity And A Life, All In The Unseen Tick Of A Clock Holding Me Nowhere. My Heart Is Beating. The Walls Are Pale And Quiet. I Am Surviving.

Being A Writer Now Is About So Much More Than Writing. There's Publishing, Touring, Marketing, Web Presence.

L.a Is A Huge Place, Literally And Metaphorically. Its Beauty And Horror. Its Unconventional History. Its Draw And Allure. Its Diversity And Segregation.

I Don't Care What People Come At Me With. People Have Come At Me With Everything You Could Imagine. I Could Care Less About That.
