In A Way, It Made

There Is No Lake At Camp Green Lake.

Part Of Me Becomes The Characters I'm Writing About. I Think Readers Feel Like They Are There, The Way I Am, As A Result.

Not Counting Small Steps, I Think Holes Is My Best Book, In Terms Of Plot, And Setting, And The Way The Story Revealed Itself. It Hasn’t Changed My Life, Other Than That I Have More Money Than I Did Before I Wrote It. I’m Still Too Close To Small Steps To Compare It To Holes.

When I Write A Novel, Every Word Is Mine. I Welcome Suggestions From My Editor, But In The End, I Make All The Final Decisions.

Life Will Deal Me Many Different Hands, Some Good, Some Bad (maybe They've Already Been Dealt), But From Here On In, I'll Be Turning My Own Cards. —alton Richard
