INTRVIEW BY A GOODREADS MEMBER
It has been a long while since your last posting. Has that been because of the distraction with the making of the movie based upon your novel OF GOOD AND EVIL?
Somewhat. But there were other pressing distractions -- too involved to go into here.
Well, now that you're finally back, what would you like to say to the members?
Nothing.
Nothing?!...After all this time away, you can't just give them NOTHING! Heavens!
It takes creative genius to give them nothing. Nothing is bliss. Think of all the bliss I've given them in my absence.
But...but -- this crowd won't STAND for nothing!
Nothing is better than bull.
But they WANT bull. NEED and CRAVE it! And you're the master at it. Some say quite humorous in dishing it out.
I don't feel humorous.
Ah...so that's it ---MOOD! We need to get you in the mood for bull. Okay, what say I mix you a nice relaxing martini?
With olives?
You bet! Gin or vodka?
Vodka. I think I'll need the Rasputin spirit. So go easy on the vermouth.
Gotcha!
After a few minutes pause for making the martini, it was handed to me with a devilish smile of triumph. I gulped down the first few sips, then felt the edge of my reluctance slip away, putting me in a better mood to answer questions.
I see you're enjoying your drink...becoming more relaxed, so give me something -- ANYTHING, but none of that nothing bit.
Well, I'm thinkng of how hard it is to see the forest.
Because of the trees?...
Yeah, THAT'S IT! Those damn trees! Weird trees. Before they started popping up, I could see the full forest in all its glory...its magnificence...its transcending beauty inspiring the soul. But now with these weird trees continuing to pop up...everyone hugging them like the bull you mentioned, as though these trees had a polluting purpose of their own, entangling and spoiling everthing about them, they're increasingly blocking and hindering my view of the grand forest. It's becoming lost. Madness!
Is that the grabber you want to entice the reader with?
No. The grabber is in reading OF GOOD AND EVIL -- availsble in the U.S. at http://www.amazon.com/dp/160976014X ; in the UK http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/160976014X . There, in the novel, you can still see that full, pure, transcending beauty of the majestic forest. Real bliss!
