I like to put my characters through a lot, so, in 'Talon,' my fans will find familiar themes of bravery and sacrifice, and what it means to be human... even if you're not human.

I like to try to make the characters I play be as human as possible.
We tend to think of heroes only in terms of violent combat, whether it's against enemies or a natural disaster. But human beings also perform radical acts of compassion; we just don't talk about them, or we don't talk about them as much.
Loyalty and devotion lead to bravery. Bravery leads to the spirit of self-sacrifice. The spirit of self-sacrifice creates trust in the power of love.
There's a tendency when you write a book to portray yourself as the hero.
Physical bravery is an animal instinct; moral bravery is much higher and truer courage.
I think we all see ourselves as the heroes in our own lives.
My heroes don't have anything special. They have something to tell other people but they don't know how, so they talk to themselves.
In the film world, we can all be heroes. In the real world, where heroism can cost you your life or the life of the ones you love, people aren't so willing to make those sacrifices. When they do, they are set apart from the rest of us.
The more information you have, the more human our heroes become and consequently the less mysterious and godlike. They need to be godlike.
I guess you could say that no matter what the characters are enduring, I try to make them retain their humanity. Their self-absorbed, grouchy, selfish, aggravating humanity.
