Alone in the Dark was how I wrote all of these stories. I wonÕt tell you that I was in my pajamas and drinking beer in the early hours of the morning, because youÕd think even less of me. The hardest part of writing is that I become so engrossed in the story IÕm trying to tell that I let my beer get warm and go flat. I canÕt even begin to count all of the beer IÕve wasted. IÕve got to develop a type Ð type Ð type Ð swig Ð type - type Ð type - swig writing technique. In the meantime hereÕs what IÕve warmed my beer over during the past five years.
