An intelligent person can rationalize anything, a wise person doesn't try.

As a writer, my mission is to represent the perceptible world in such a way that readers can see the extraordinary that lives all around them. I want to converse on the page. I want to squash the humdrum, the mendacity that arrives due to too many overworked routines and overfed expectations. Furthermore, I want to entertain and awaken. Furthermore, I want to imagine and observe. Furthermore, I want to spin my fiction from an honest, curious place.

When the writing is good, a book becomes a mirror. The reader will see an uncanny familiarity and respond accordingly.
