“I think that as I continue to write, my writing I hope will become more controve…” — Christopher Darden

Something's going to happen that's going to make us all pay attention at the type of sentences some people are serving and the conditions in which they are served.

It's too late for that - trying to second guess it. It's over. I'm worried about how to get the kids through school and still write and practice law and take power of attorney.

It's much like writing a screenplay with someone else and that's how we view it, I think.

It would have been easier to have a male protagonist, but I didn't want people to assume that Nikki Hill was me in her entirety because a lot of people just don't like me and I don't think they would be interested in reading about me, even in the fictional context.
