It makes life richer. In trying to discover telling details and episodes for my books, I notice people and events in life in greater detail.

I'm working on Murder in the Cranberry bogs, about newspaperman Jake Stewart, a small newspaper with an odd set of employees, bizarre town folk and a bar called the Green Hornet. It has murders, dreams of easy riches and romance... will Jake get the woman in the end? Since I'm not yet at the end, even I don't know.
