I don't like books that play to the gallery, but I've become more concerned with telling a story as clearly and engagingly as I can. ↗

Unless one is a religious fundamentalist and believes that man was created in the image and likeness of God, it is foolish to believe that human beings are exempt from biological classification and the laws of evolution that apply to all other life forms. ↗
