"I'm a southern writer. But I don't do Cooter and cornpone, or Appalachian family sagas, or Confederate reminiscences.
My main objective is to deliver a great storyline (at least that's the goal each time I start something new) that incorporates issues or elements that are important to my own community and to me as a black man. Maybe that makes me a “race” writer, but in real life, we don’t live in a color blind society. My blackness matters."
