I think I'm like most novelists in that my books have gotten farther and farther away from autobiography the longer I've been writing them.
Remember folks, fish are like relatives. After two days, they stink.
911 was just an enormous event in so many senses of the word - I mean, we are still in the "post-911 era" and perhaps will be forever? Sometimes it seems like it.
