I guess you'd call him the large, lovable rogue type (hence the reference or two to Porthos in Rook to Bishop). When I was writing the first book I realized I enjoyed writing every scene with him in it the most. So that said I always thought I'd come back to him at some stage. I was actually laying in bed jotting down some ideas for another book (that I've yet to write) and I just had this funny conversation in my head. So I scribbled it down on the back of my notebook. The next day I looked at it and thought 'that sounds like McNulty'. So from that sprung the first scene. It all just kind of took off from there. (less)

The Wind Blows Hardest When You're Holding an Umbrella by Paul Garvey

The wind was howling overhead, but through the whistling gusts I could hear sheep noises and I swear I heard a rooster crowing in the distance. I was soaked to the skin and shivering. My hands were so cold I felt pins and needles in my finger tips. All I could taste was salt from the galllon of ocean water I took in since the wreck, but I could smell peat burning and lavender, which was nice. I pu Read more of this blog post »
