I'm definitely interested in exploring human contradictions. Contradictions are what make us human - it's what defines us as human beings. Contradictions are what make characters interesting, and I've been lucky to be presented with characters who have a lot of contradictions.
My books have contradictions all the time - and people are fine with that.
I think people have to choose between living with contradictions or painting themselves into a corner. I have a lot of contradictions.
I write to keep from going mad from the contradictions I find among mankind - and to work some of those contradictions out for myself.

As a writer, you rely on whatever makes you up as a person, whether those things are twisted and nasty or otherwise.
I believe that, like most writers, my personality comes through in the fiction. So in that respect my writing can't be like any other author's really.
Writers are completely out of touch with reality. Writers are a crazy person. We create conflict - for a living. We do this all the time, sometimes on a weekly basis; we create horrible, incredible circumstances and then figure a way out of them. That's what we do.
