Alan Asnen
I don't have a summer reading list. I read all the time. As a fiction writer, I tend to read, these days, mostly non-fiction, and whatever I can get my hands on. Why do I avoid fiction? Because I steal and I don't want to steal from other fiction writers... SO mostly I steal information from hard-working investigative writers and great thinkers (to whom I can therefore give credit in some fashion!!). It is okay to steal...TS Eliot says so.

Alan Asnen:
I'm having trouble figuring out which is the first Frank Gould story. Is there more than one series? Where do you suggest I begin, and how did you pick the name for the character? Is he a combination of people you've known or a more random mix of people? Thanks, Leona
