The military is a very cool world to write about. I went down to Ft. Benning, Ga., for military training, and I learned a lot about soldiers and officers and why they joined up and what their life has been like.

Why waste time trying to discover the truth, when you can so easily create it?

I'm ever curious about the world. I'm driven to go out and find new things to write about. Having a vivid imagination is also a plus.
