		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#8217;t read much fiction, as best I can recall, until the fifth grade. A caring librarian at the small, upstate New York parochial school I attended had noted that when selecting books I exclusively favored &#8220;boy books&#8221; of the kind featuring pictures of tanks, helicopters, fire trucks, and explosions. She went so far as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Good fiction doesn’t just happen, it is designed. You can do the design work before or after you write your novel. I’ve done it both ways and I strongly believe that doing it first is quicker and leads to a better result. Design is hard work, so it’s important to find a guiding principle early [...]]]></description>
