How well do we really know anybody, especially the people that we think we know?

And so with Artie Dam, I realized, okay, let's go in there and find out, you know.

So that's why I wrote Artie Dam.

I know, it's hard to talk about this book without giving the spoilers away.

Reveal all.

I know, I know.

Does that actually work for people?

Well, I don't know.

I think it might work for some people according to their nature.

And I think other people, it doesn't work.

You know, as I was writing Artie, I mean, I'm not going to give anything away, but there is a big reveal that he has to deal with.

And I kept thinking, are you going to tell this?

And I just kept waiting for him to tell.

And he never does, except for his one friend, Kenneth Moynihan.

And I thought that was so interesting.

And I realized it's because he's already, he's not going to do it.

He cannot do it.

It would be out of character.

It would be out of character, precisely.

And even though my characters always surprise me, I can't do anything with them that's out of who they are.
