Black History Month

Race. You know it at a glance: he's black; she's white. They're Asian; we're Latino. Racism. I'm better; she's worse. Those people do those kinds of things. We all know it's wrong to make these judgments, but they come faster than thought. Why? Where did those feelings come from? Why are they so powerful?

All of my books start with questions, and I hope they prompt readers to ask questions of their own.
I find history endlessly fascinating. It is the detective story that yields us as the answer.
I try to write each book with the same care I would put into a novel, but with the same respect for truth as a judge in a court of law.
