I've Been Tremendously Moved By

L.a.: Come On Vacation, Go Home On Probation.

"war Gives Men A Plain-and-simple Something To Do ... Women Write Diaries In The Hope That Their Words Will Beckon Fate." It's A Romantic Manifesto.

L.a. Ispolluted. It's Overpopulated. But It Is Very Much Home. It Was Inevitable For Me, The Moving Back. I Was Living In San Francisco, And Joan Broke It Off With Me, And I Needed A Place To Live. I'd Been Divorced. And I Needed To Write Movies And Tv Shows To Earn A Living. Alimony. All That. So I Figured What The Hell, I'll Go Back To L.a.

I Don't Have Children. I Serve The World And I Serve God By Living As Deep Within My Work As I Can, Reveling In The Language Of Other Times And Putting It Forth For The World.

I Think I'm Out Of Crime Fiction Now, And I Think The Dividing Line Is American Tabloid.
