The follow-up novel, TRUE BELIEVER, continued what Joseph Campbell describes as the “Hero’s Journey,” as Reece finds his purpose through violent redemption. It was only at this stage of the monomyth that I could finally write the novel I’d been dreaming of writing since I was eleven years old. The result is SAVAGE SON. ![]() SAVAGE SON was an extremely personal book for me to write. Upon first reading Richard Connell’s 1924 masterpiece THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME in the 6th grade, I knew that one day I’d write a novel that paid tribute to this classic tale of hunter versus hunted. It was one of the storylines I wrote out when deciding which idea would become my first novel. ![]()

What’s everyone talking about?!” “See?” I remember him saying indignantly. In defense of Bush, Rush showed his audience a clip from a different part of Bush’s speech. Bush was under fire for questioning Bill Clinton’s patriotism because Clinton had protested the Vietnam War while on foreign soil (at Oxford). and I stumbled upon a clip from the TV show Rush had back then. The first time I heard of Rush Limbaugh was in the early 1990s, when I was researching something for a sketch I was writing for S.N.L. The point is, I don’t know where exactly my particular obsession with lies and lying liars came from. My parents taught me to tell the truth, but come on, whose parents didn’t?
