I do keep a target reader in mind while I’m writing. She’s someone who is mature enough to understand that many of the choices we make influence our lives in more ways than we can anticipate.

Humans are engaged in a seemingly paradoxical quest to devote a ton of intellect toward developing technologies to eliminate the need for said intellect.

In 2014 Booktrust surveyed 1500 adults and found that 36% give up on books because they get bored. I think we need more high-octane, gripping, blistering-paced reads to reach this demographic. I’m actually part of this demographic. I give up on loads of books because I get bored. I want to write books that no one could ever say are boring.
