Q: What’s the life of a writer like?
A: Daunting! It’s a lot of hard work with little promise of financial return. However, the emotional return is beyond gratifying. I believe writing is more than a mere career – it’s a way of life.
Q: If people could only get one thing from your writing, what would you like that to be?
A: I want my readers to enjoy my work but, preferably, they would get an insight into raw but compassionate human nature.
Q: You’ve created some beautiful works of literature. What would your ideal project be?
A: To keep with the notion of transcendence, I would say a screenplay adaptation of Milton’s Paradise Lost.
