There Are So Many Journalists Out There,

When I'm Writing Fiction I'm Thinking, God, This Is So Hard - I Have To Make All This Stuff Up! I Wish I Were Writing A Nonfiction Book Where All The Facts Are Laid Out And I Don't Have To Be So Much At Sea.

There Are So Many Journalists Out There, I Hate To Say It, Who Are Lazy And Don't Do Their Research - And It Shows.

My Hobbies Are Mountain Biking, Horseback Riding And Packing, Canoeing And Kayaking, Hiking, Camping, Cooking, And Skiing.

I Would Have To Say The Novel 'war And Peace' Influenced Me More Than Any Other Book. This Greatest Of Novels Demonstrated To Me The Enormous Power Of Literature And Fired Me Up With A Desire To Become A Writer, To Participate In What I Considered Then To Be The Greatest Of All Endeavors.

Retribution Is Just Outstanding.
