I'm not a forensic psychologist, but I am an LPC (Licensed
Professional Counselor) who does a lot of court-ordered
psychological testing for people in trouble with the law. So
I saw quite a bit of myself in Jake Danser, both personally
and professionally. That doesn't mean, of course, that I have
murdered anyone, or kept souvenirs of the murders, or
anything like that... :o)

Subject: RARA-AVIS: The Confession
As the writer, I felt a lot my task in this
particular book was trying to
keep the reader interested in the narrator, even
though he was vain,
self-absorbed, a liar, and likely involved in
several murders around him.
I was interested in trying to create a character
who,through his charm and
intelligence, could keep the reader involved even
though they didn't
entirely trust him.
And I was hoping the readers would see a bit of
themselves in Jake Danser,
and maybe reflect upon that similarity...
