Less question more comment. Not since I read Larry McMurtry's books have I read a male author with the ability to fully develop women characters in books. Some can write women characters well, Pat Conroy, for example, but very few can make me believe it was written by a woman then to be surprised when I find out it was a male author?

Thank you! In JILO (coming in April), I have two lead female characters, Jilo, of course, and her grandmother May. I hope you'll enjoy meeting May, as well as Jilo's younger self. I'm also really happy with the two sympathetic male point of view characters, Jesse and Tinker. Fingers crossed they'll prove worthy counterparts to the women.

OK I just finished Jilo! LOVED IT! I loved all the detail and description... I really enjoy that sort of book. So, the inevitable question is... When is the next book? hahaha Do you plan to write more in the Witching Savannah series or are you planning another setting? Thanks so much for writing Jilo! (and the whole series, of course!) :)

This was an excellent read..I thought it was going to be the normal book about AA drug running, pimp, drive by type of story....which I really don't enjoy...So needless to say I was most pleasantly surprised and stayed up all night reading this story till about 4;00 am. Was definitely worth feeling tired for the rest of the day. Great story written by a man..about AA history. What inspired you to write this story?
