I work within the framework of a very concerted, purely driven Protestant Christian mindset. I had dark early circumstances. I went inward. I have a sturdy will. I have a big heart. I'm a decent guy. And I have a great gift. It's blunted me to the world in many ways.
Periodically I just notch up. And everyone among my colleagues thinks that Perfidia - in its accessibility, its big throbbing heart - will be the biggest notch up yet. We'll see what happens. It's on my ass.
Tell me anything. Tell me everything. Revoke our time apart. Love me fierce in danger.
To me, there's nothing on earth other than women. It's why I get out of bed every morning.
It was interesting to write directly about what things meant to me. A lot of the art of writing novels is in telling things by implication.
