Writing detective stories is about writing light literature for entertainment. It isnt primarily a question of writing propaganda or classical literature.

I don't play video games.

None of my characters seem to have had sex yet - I haven't written about that. And I wouldn't want to deal with what's happening in Oregon - the school shootings.

Any player that says they don't want to go to an All-Star Game is lying to you. It's something everyone wants to be a part of.
