I write unique, entertaining, eclectic novels, many of which contain elements of satire, drama, and surrealism.

They're all standalone books, but the sequence in which I wrote them is meaningful to me, for what it's worth. Although I have gone back and forth between a couple of novels, by and large I wrote each one straight through before starting the next.

Depending on the book, I do anywhere from five to ten drafts of a manuscript before an editor sees it, and then there are several more drafts and copyedits before you see it. Of course, five or six or seven drafts still doesn't guarantee that a book is good (they're all good—I guarantee it), but it does reduce the typo-rate to about 1 in 300,000 words. That's 3.33 errors in a million. Now, the official Six Sigma goal is 3.4 errors in a million, and that is officially categorized as perfection, and so, really, my books are perfect. (Hi, Mom!)
