My latest novel, MAYA DARLING, is my good gift to the world. I wrote the novel in the aftermath of getting shot. Getting shot and almost dying had nothing to do with the story, but it does impact how I feel about gun violence. The image of Santa Claus wearing a bullet proof vest captures the surreal sense of unease pervading our culture during these precarious political times, both in America, and all over the world. Please check out the Campaign Video of Santa Claus suiting up on Christmas Eve.
