The Military Was All About

I Was Very Much A Child Of The Cold War.

I Have Any Number Of Completely Dark Obsessions And Fascinations, And None Of This Was Present In My Profile Or My Growing Profile As A Writer.

My Theory Of Characterization Is Basically This: Put Some Dirt On A Hero, And Put Some Sunshine On The Villain, One Brush Stroke Of Beauty On The Villain.

I Grew Up During The Cold War, When Everything Seemed Very Tenuous. For Many Years, Right Up Until The Fall Of The Berlin Wall, I Had Vivid Nightmares Of Nuclear Apocalypse.
