Plus I'm always chasing the "aha" moments of a story; I so hope that a reader gets jolted by a twist or a reveal or two, or a surprise ending. It's because I'm most appreciative of those moments in the novels I read.(less)

All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.â€�(less)

I HEARD YOU PAINT COWBOYS by Chris Bauer
"Grit, intrigue, fantastic dialog, crisply rendered characters, and a plot that always kept me guessing—that (along with the occasional splash of blood and guts) is what I love about every Chris Bauer novel. He jumps into something new with every book" Read more of this review »
I HEARD YOU PAINT COWBOYS by Chris Bauer
"I Heard You Paint Cowboys is a thriller, a con game inside a scam inside a boondoggle, alongside an unvarnished gaze at American attitudes today. The antagonists are a gun dealer and a Trans ex-con who served too many years for a crime he couldn’t ha" Read more of this review »

Very clever storyline. Kirk plumbs the depths of long-term familial relationships strained by discomforting circumstances: memory loss/dementia, remedial offspring, parental control, obsessive eating habits, and other conflicts. An engaging read.

“Out back of the tannery had been, and I expect still is, a half-buried lagoon of arsenic-based insecticides and tanning chemicals, plus hundreds of barrels of crud-eating machinery detergents and other tannery process by-products, including lead and chromium.”
C.G. Bauer, Scars on the Face of God: The Devil's Bible

“The thing I write will be the thing I write.”
Steve Shilstone

“The center snaps the ball to the quarterback!"
"No he doesn't!"
"He doesn't?"
"NO! Secretly, he's the quarterback for the other team! He keeps the ball!"
"A traitor!"
"Calvin breaks for the goal."
"Wheeee! He's at the 30... the 20... the 10! Nobody can catch him!"
"Nobody wants to! Your running toward your own goal!"
"Huh?!"
"When I learned that you were a spy, I switched goals. This is your goal and mine's hidden!"
"Hidden?!"
"You'll never find it in a million years!"
"I don't need to find it as a traitor to your team, crossing my goal counts as crossing your goal!"
"Ah, so you might think so..."
"In fact, I know so!"
"But the place I hid my goal is right on top of your goal, so the points will go to me!"
"But the fact is, I'm really a double agent! I'm on your team after all, which means you'll lose points if I cross your goal! Ha ha!"
"But I'm a traitor too, so I'm really on your team! I want you to cross my goal! The points will go to your team, which is really my team!"
"That would be true... if I were a football player!"
"You mean...?"
"I'm actually a badminton player disguised as a double-agent football player!!"
"And I'm actually a volleyball-croquet-polo player!"
"Sooner or later, all our games turn into CalvinBall."
"No cheating!”
Bill Watterson

“The house came with a set of Pugs, which are sort of a cross between Peter Lorre and a bratwurst.”
Becky Masterman, Rage Against the Dying

“She was clean": no piercings, tattoos, or scarifications. All the kids were now. And who could blame them, Alex thought, after watching three generations of flaccid tattoos droop like moth-eaten upholstery over poorly stuffed biceps and saggy asses?”
Jennifer Egan, A Visit from the Goon Squad

“I look at these people and can't quite believe that they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want a lot of attention? To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. "Can I interest you in the chicken?" she asks. "Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it? To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked.”
David Sedaris
