Victimizers of children are the enemies of any so-called society.
From Andrew Vachss
I believe my publisher has shown a great deal of faith in me over a lot of years but I'm not prepared to be so arrogant to say that the long-term literary value of my work would compensate them for a financial failure.
I did criminal defense work part-time, and that paid the bills for representing abused and neglected children... and for defending in juvenile court those kids the 'child protective system' had missed when it had the chance.
Without question, I've either got to be a writer, or I fail.
My life is triage.
I don't take advances for my books.
