Someone asked me once where my stories come from. It’s quite simple, really. I sit in front of my computer with
a cup of coffee on one side and a stack of classical music compact disks on the other. I stretch a few times, take
a deep breath and let it out. And then I light some candles and fall to my knees uttering a prayer in Latin at which
point the ceiling bursts open and I’m emblazoned by blinding lights and deafened by a choir of angels singing and
put my name on it.
See? Anybody can do it. The only problem is I don’t make a whole lot of money. Roof repairs, you know.
