Before I started covering professional sports, I covered politics. It was a bit like professional sports, at times. Researching stories for articles did help me when preparing plot points for my stories, especially my series, PrinceFall/KingRise. The complex nature of political campaigns, talking points, canvassing of potential voters - it is incredibly intense and discovering the truth behind what is often told to the media shows a level of planning that can be extreme. Because there is a political struggle within my fantasy series, I used my experience looking at the "real" candidates and their maneuvers to form a plot line that is interwoven with truths, perceived truths and outright misdirection. Hope that answers your question. If not, feel free to ask for clarification.(less)

Great read

The story is engaging and kept me wanting to read long past when my eyes grew tired. There were editorial errors but the action is realistic to the brutal events of the time period the story is written in.

“You’re a genius,” she said. “Hardly,” he said. “I just show up and pay attention.”
Stephen Hunter, Sniper's Honor

“Writing is the light of imagination playing over shadow of thoughts.”

Harper Lee
“Maycomb was a tired old town, even in 1932 when I first knew it. Somehow, it was hotter then. Men's stiff collars wilted by nine in the morning. Ladies bathed before noon after their three o'clock naps. And by nightfall were like soft teacakes with frosting from sweating and sweet talcum. The day was twenty-four hours long, but it seemed longer. There's no hurry, for there's nowhere to go and nothing to buy...and no money to buy it with.”
Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

C.S. Lewis
“God created things which had free will. That means creatures which can go wrong or right. Some people think they can imagine a creature which was free but had no possibility of going wrong, but I can't. If a thing is free to be good it's also free to be bad. And free will is what has made evil possible. Why, then, did God give them free will? Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having. A world of automata -of creatures that worked like machines- would hardly be worth creating. The happiness which God designs for His higher creatures is the happiness of being freely, voluntarily united to Him and to each other in an ecstasy of love and delight compared with which the most rapturous love between a man and a woman on this earth is mere milk and water. And for that they've got to be free.
Of course God knew what would happen if they used their freedom the wrong way: apparently, He thought it worth the risk. (...) If God thinks this state of war in the universe a price worth paying for free will -that is, for making a real world in which creatures can do real good or harm and something of real importance can happen, instead of a toy world which only moves when He pulls the strings- then we may take it it is worth paying.”
C.S. Lewis, The Case for Christianity
