More From Douglas Preston

Things break all the time. glass and dishes and fingernails. cars and contracts and potato chips. you can break a record, a horse, a dollar. you can break the ice. there are coffee breaks and lunch breaks and prison breaks. day breaks, waves break, voices break. chains can be broken. so can silence, and fever... promises break. hearts break.

Time Sick Suffering
A writer's life is so hazardous that anything he does is bad for him. anything that happens to him is bad: failure's bad, success is bad; impoverishment is bad, money is very, very bad. nothing good can happen... except the act of writing.
