One question that keeps coming up is "why does your About the Author page in Torn from Troy say that you have no dog?  Are you one of these dog haters?"  Actually I love dogs.  I guess I wanted to distance myself a bit from these self-laudatory author pages that you see sometimes.  "The author lives on Vancouver Island with his two dogs, Coochie-Poo and Alexander Solzhenitsyn, in a log cabin that he built with a bent fork.  They spend their days farming organic shallots and diving on U-boat wrecks off Clayoquot Sound."

Okay, so maybe I haven't seen one quite that bad.  But I'm sure they're out there.
