Love and war are the same thing and stratagems and policy are as allowable in the one as in the other.
The man that hath no music in himself Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds is fit for treasons stratagems and spoils.
'Blind Curve ' the book I'm working on now sprang from a crazy incident that happened to me last year while on my book tour. I was pulled out of my car for a minor traffic violation - an incident that escalated into my being thrown into cuffs and told I was going to jail. Except in my story the hero doesn't get off as easily as I did.
