To get the right word in the right place is a rare achievement. To condense the diffused light of a page of thought into the luminous flash of a single sentence, is worthy to rank as a prize composition just by itself... Anybody can have ideas, the difficulty is to express them without squandering a quire of paper on an idea that ought to be reduced to one glittering paragraph. -- Mark Twain

Thick Ed
I love getting feedback from readers, and learning what they like and dislike about my novels. In this case, it's one of the minor characters from Shadows of Anarchy, an anarchist named Thick Ed. I'm partial to Ed, which may sound odd. Surely a writer likes all her characters? Not true. I like some, I'm ambivalent about others, and some I love. I'm always interested in knowing which characters strike a chord with readers. Anyway, here's a link to the review, which is very complimentary and thus made my day.
