A Writer Is Like A

The Essays In The Great Taos Bank Robbery Were My Project To Win A Master Of Arts Degree In English When I Quit Being A Newspaper Editor And Went Back To College.

I Know What I Write About Seems Exotic To A Lot Of People, But Not For Me. I Pulled Up To An Old Trading Post And Saw A Few Elderly Navajos Sitting On A Bench. I Felt Right At Home.

An Author Knows His Landscape Best; He Can Stand Around, Smell The Wind, Get A Feel For His Place.

I Try To Make My Books Reflect Humanity As I See It.
