Views

Quotations: ''My primary motivation for writing is an effort to entertain myself and relieve boredom; especially from February through August, when there are no football games.''

''My efforts in fiction were influenced by Edgar Allan Poe, Herman Melville, and Vincent Price. My nonfiction projects help me come to terms with and, hopefully, validate my life’s experiences.''

''I am a most undisciplined writer. I do not set aside specific times or days to write. I’ve tried this, but it just doesn’t work for me. I write when I feel the desire, the need, the passion. When that will occur, only God knows. I write when I have something to say, even if it is only to myself.''
