Thanks to all for the interesting and positive comments about A Dark Night in Aurora: Inside James Holmes and the Colorado Mass Shootings! (I'd read negative ones, too; almost all comments are useful.)

I'd like briefly to respond to one writer's (Neil Evan's) post about how the Aurora, Colorado perpetrator's motive was confusing. Neil mentioned common motives such as jealousy, money and revenge.

As many of you know, James Holmes and his shootings were in a very different category. His motives were so internal, and so convoluted, that they're very hard to categorize. (The question, BTW, reminded me that mental illness itself VERY RARELY leads to violence unless it is associated with substance abuse. I'm much more nervous about the people he mentioned--those antisocial enough to kill people for money, jealousy, or revenge--than I am of people with mental illness!

Finally, I'm on Twitter (though a newbie), @DarkNightAurora. Let me hear from you!

Thanks again, and please keep writing, reading, and rating A Dark Night in Aurora on Amazon, etc.!
