Comments from the author about writing: I have devoted my life to the study and practice of artful nonfiction--in its many forms. My early books are aimed at writers. My most recent work looks at the life of Virginia Woolf through the lens of her diary--and the many diaries she read--and I am currently doing the research to write a popular book about a real Iowa murder/suicide mystery.
