“Whether it be the construction of a six-word-story, three bold lines, or seventeen syllables, the art of brevity intrigues me. William Shakespeare said, ‘Sometimes, less is more,’ and Bruce Lee declared, ‘Simplicity is the key to brilliance.’ (Who knew that these two guys had so much in common?) The impact that a few spare words can create fascinates me. I want to give readers that slight-smile-with-a-little-nod moment.”
