As a writer and a reader, I always want to know the stuff that eludes documentation, the stuff that can’t just be reported from records and databases. It’s why I love fiction, which takes a life and sets it in a landscape, gives it impediments, and finds the truth that transcends the facts. Mysteries, especially, speak compellingly about everything unknowable in human nature. In mysteries, when the crime gets deconstructed and the hero(ine) struggles and triumphs, there’s still a whole region that goes unlighted. It’s one of my favorite places. Welcome to my website.
