“Writers do like money; artists, contrary to popular belief, do like to eat. It’s only that money isn’t the driving force. I feel very rich when I have time to write and very poor when I get a regular paycheck and no time to work at my real work. Think of it. Employers pay salaries for time. That is the basic commodity that human beings have that is valuable. We exchange our time in life for money. Writers stay with the first step—their time—and feel it is valuable even before they get money for it. They hold on to it and aren’t so eager to sell it.”

“When the police found Brynn that fall, Adam had no explanation. Shattered wrists, sunken face, and a broken leg – it was never clear what had happened. Bailey found her at the bottom of the stairs and called for help. Adam sat in the parlor, tipping cigarillo ash into the glass tray. Though the charges for assault were dismissed due to lack of evidence, Bailey couldn’t escape her suspicions, and by Christmas, she moved away. The divorce papers arrived in the mailbox, crinkled and brief. Adam pulled them from the box and walked toward the house. Looking up, he was sure he saw something falling from the sky.”
