The violence in the world comes about because we human beings are forever creating barriers between men who are like us and men who are not like us.
I used to travel in tennis shoes; I am just not allowed to anymore. I'm an old hippie from San Francisco.
I love writing about men. To get by in the world you have to know how men think. Not that all guys think alike, but women tend to think about more things at the same time, an overgeneralization, but I find it easier to make my male characters focus than I do my female characters.
