    Author of the new short story collection, Nameless

    "Once I came to that decision and came to Amazon, it has been so far one of the finest experiences I've ever had, working with the people in Amazon Original Stories and Amazon Publishing at Thomas & Mercer. Writers can't ask for more supportive, more interesting people to work with. So it turned out to be the right decision."

    "We don't want to be constantly wired. We don't want brain implants. We just want the ability to get information and communication when we need it and the way we need it. Amazon is essentially saying, 'in your car, on your ear, in your pocket? Sure. In your environment, your home. We're just going to thread all this together, so that you can use it when you need it, and it just disappears in the background when you don't.'"
