Thank you for writing great novels. Your imagination is exquisite. The adversity or confrontations that your characters run into seems terrifying. Do you draw from your own personal experience, such as bar fights or school yard brawls? I ask because I relate your characters to my rugby and football team mates, some are ruthless some fear a fight but can still perform well in a match. Do you crave for the chance to go viking, or keep those fantasies in mind for your novels? KK
