My mom is from Georgia, and I have family down there whom I'm very close with. The idea to write this book came in a single moment - when I was with my kids coming back from vacation, looking out the window at an old-style lamp that reminded me so much of Savannah - and the whole idea was set in a matter of minutes. But I've spent a lot of time down there, and maybe that distance made it a fun escape. My next novel - The Jefferson Bible - will be set in Missouri.

I love being able to make something appear that means something to people, and knowing that no matter how it goes in "real life," you get the final revision on the printed page.

I've written all kinds of different things, from newspaper articles to books to even a history of The Muny in St. Louis when they turned 75. It's interesting to see when people make a point of reminding you of something you wrote that meant something to them. If you can continue to be vital to someone else's life, long after the fact, that's extraordinary.(less)

Quotes by Dale Wiley (?)

“marked New Carrolton just about to close its doors, and did another jump-roll between them, once again - you guessed it - landing on the same shoulder. It felt as if it were attached to my body by two painful threads, and it pulsed like the rhythm track at a nightclub. I was sitting on the floor, wincing and making very awful, howl-and-screech-type noises, all of which would have drawn considerable attention in many other venues. However, this was the Washington, DC subway. Several people stared, but not for long. They averted their eyes as I rose and looked around, all dreadfully afraid that I might do something to them. Did I mention that my shoulder hurt like hell? If I didn't, then I should, and even if I did, I should probably emphasize it. Because it was practically all I could think of. I could just feel the blood rushing into it, but I didn't want to examine it, for fear that I might”
