Five Questions: Saving Carravagio

1. Why do you blog?
I’m not very good at it. But on a hokey level - to reach out to readers and let them in at the same time.

2. Which author and/or book has most influenced you?
It all started with Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment & Camus’ The Outsider.

3. Which three blogs do you most visit?
John Baker at http://johnbakersblog.co.uk
Guardian Unlimited at http://www.guardian.co.uk/
I’m not a big blogger – feel compelled to comment and then get too involved – I have novels to write!

4. Why do you read fiction?
It reminds us who we are, who we can be, and who we should be – novels are the most human art form.

5. What makes you laugh?
Jokes that come from character; everything else is a pratfall.
