I did not observe. That means I forgot one of my most important lessons from my favorite Creative Writing class from many years ago. (less)

It is a story of revenge and learning to cope with what you can't change.

For years I've read books and news on wars, always wondering how people who don't flee, can survive, how they can possibly remake their future. I started writing on survivors after seeing Arwa Damon on CNN many years ago in Baghdad: a man drove to the market for food for his family and he was taken and forced back into his car and into a suicide bombing. Horrific. I wonder today what has happened to his widow and their four children.

I write to try to understand how evil thrives, how evil even starts...people are not born extremists. I try to focus on individuals caught up in turmoil...and I find, and tell their stories. When I was young I wanted to be a foreign correspondent. It was many years before I discovered the brilliant reportage of Marie Colvin.... I try to read absolutely everything she wrote. What an incredible inspiration her life as a journalist has been for me. (less)
