Lions, wolves, and vultures don't live together in herds, droves or flocks. Of all animals of prey, man is the only sociable one. Every one of us preys upon his neighbor, and yet we herd together.
My books are primarily plot driven but the best plot in the world is useless if you don't populate them with characters that readers can care about.
I think I'm in better shape now than I was 10 years ago, but it takes a bigger toll - I get back pain!
