It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it.

Research is never completed. . . .Around the corner lurks another possibility of interview, another book to read, a courthouse to explore, a document to verify.

When I’m working on a novel, there are so many things to research. I love using Google to answer my questions. It’s amazing how many small and big details go into building a setting and fleshing out characters for a book. I love it when the author takes time to portray things accurately and with a good eye for detail.
