People Who Think God Is

I'm A Bit Of A Libertarian.

I Am A Huge Fan Of Alan Furst. Furst Is The Best In The Business--the Most Talented Espionage Novelist Of Our Generation.

My Doctors Warned Me Repeatedly That If You Don't Stay Positive, You Don't Do Well.

When I Was Writing My First Novel A Friend Told Me I Should Apply For A Grant From The Government That Was Offered To Support Starving Artists. I Can't Tell You How Much This Deeply Offended Me. I Told Her In Very Clear Language That I Thought It Was Ridiculous To Think That Other Americans Ought To Pay For Me To Chase My Dream. Anybody Who Understands Pride And Self-determination Gets This. So I Bartended At Night, I Wrote During The Day, And I Paid For My Own Damn Insurance. I Didn't Expect Anybody Else To Pick It Up For Me.

A Major Theme In All My Books Is That The Cia Is Not Only The First Line Of Defense But They Should Also Be The First Line Of Offense.
