I'm a disciple of Raymond Chandler, who said in his essays that there's a quality of redemption in anything that can be called art.

I wrote my first real murder story as a journalist for the Daytona Beach News Journal in 1980. It was about a body found in the woods. Later, the murder was linked to a serial killer who was later caught and executed for his crimes.

I don't miss being a reporter as a job, but I do miss the everyday interaction with the front line of law enforcement. I still have a cadre of cops who keep me up to date, but I don't have the access I used to.

Someone who can write aphorisms should not fritter away his time in essays.

I would like to see that KACA yields more and better quality human resource products through the many art and culture courses currently being presented. After completion of these courses the Namibian should then automatically take over from the foreigners still employed in positions at the centre.

What is overriding that and most important is that readers generally are interested in a good character. They might be more comfortable with Harry because they think they know him, but they always seem willing to give somebody new a chance.
