I write strictly for fun... as long as it stays fun I'll continue to do it.
Tom Clancy
Image
The human condition today is better than it's ever been, and technology is one of the reasons for that.

There is more to military units than hardware. There is the character of the unit's personnel: their strengths, experience, and knowledge, their ability to get along and work together amid the horrors of the battlefield. There is an almost undefinable quality. That quality is the Marine Corps' secret weapon. Their edge. That quality is their ethos.

I think about the characters I've created and then I sit down and start typing and see what they will do. There's a lot of subconscious thought that goes on. It amazes me to find out, a few chapters later, why I put someone in a certain place when I did. It's spooky.

The smaller the mind, the greater the ego.
Tom Clancy
Image
The Good of the People was a laudable enough goal, but in denying a man's soul, an enduring part of his being, Marxism stripped away the foundation of human dignity and individual value. It also cast aside the objective measure of justice and ethics which, he decided, was the principal legacy of religion to civilized life.

When you have stopped learning you have begun to die.

Every novel begins with the speculative question, What if X happened? That's how you start.
