“Like it” and you will get regular updates. He’s interviewed an amazing array of authors including Walter Mosley, David Baldacci, Marcia Clark and many more. Yesterday I found this nice little review of my Porter Hall novel, ONE MINUTE GONE, posted by Hopeton Hay, who does book reviews on radio station KAZI in Austin.

Among the elements of the novel that hooked me include a sexy reporter that’s taken a professional and personal interest in him, his antagonistic relationship with New York cops, and his adorable twins he’s raising as a single parent. His hero, Porter Hall, keeps his sense of humor through a series of threats to his children and his life that rival Candide. If you think you’d like a wisecracking hero desperately trying to keep a villain from ruining his life in New York City, you should check out David Hansard’s debut novel One Minute Gone. Go with what you can see and that will become a compass to the next clear thing. What I have also discovered is that within the fog, the thick soup of the mind that envelopes you when you are processing a narrative, that at any given moment certain things, maybe just one, will be clear. I would like to love it, but that’s not going to happen.

Over the years I have learned that–at least for me–it’s never going to be crystal clear. I’ve been writing for most of my life, but for me the writing process has always been a bit murky, like I never know exactly what I’m doing.
