Sometimes you might have difficulty following my logic, because some of my sentences don’t seem to follow the ones before them. In Australia, Spaghetti and meat sauce is called “spag bol” (short for spaghetti Bolognese). The defense rests.

Actually, though that is a good example of a non-sequitur, it’s not what I am talking about. I’m referring instead to authors who build a career on writing one type of book, and then suddenly come out of the blue with something new and unexpected. The same kind of thing can happen to actors.

I love to read. I’m guessing you do too, or you wouldn’t be at Novelspot. Reading is natural for me, like eating or breathing. It’s a workout for my mind. Some books seed new paths of thought that I might never have cultivated had I not encountered them. I use the word encountered because books are like people to me, each with its own personality, driving force and hidden meaning. I don’t read books so much as meet them, befriend them and spend time with them. I enjoy their company. I like to think they’d enjoy mine, too.
