A…moreAs with apples and oranges, I like them both. I find the story-telling in each endeavor satisfying. That's where they're much the same in many ways. An illustration must grab you at a glance, make a suggestion, and leave enough to the imagination that you carry the story-telling beyond the picture plane. Good writing requires audience to bring emotional experience to interpreting what's read. Both give audience work to do that makes the experience memorable. The advantage to illustration is that viewers know if they like it very quickly, while any piece of writing beyond flash fiction requires audience to invest time and energy in experience.(less)

The hallucinations involved a malevolent presence, a man whose thoughts I could penetrate to some extent. At times, I felt as if I were losing my identity and assuming his. I began to remember doing things in places I've never been. When later, I began researching and writing my Jack the Ripper Victims series, I immediately felt an affinity for and connection to the environment of Victorian London. I wrote the novel THE SURGEON'S MATE: A DISMEMOIR to explore the memoir and horror fiction possibilities of the experience.(less)
