I am a literary animal. For me, everything ends in literature.

I am not interested in slice of life, what I want is a slice of the imagination.

I have two children who died before reaching 30, so who am I to complain about being alive?

I am a morning writer; I am writing at eight-thirty in longhand and I keep at it until twelve-thirty, when I go for a swim. Then I come back, have lunch, and read in the afternoon until I take my walk for the next day's writing.

I have no literary fears.

Animal lover that I am, a cougar I am not.
