  • The irony is that it was tougher to rent a car from Cerberus when it owned Alamo than to buy a semi-automatic.

No concerns about downstream liability or risk.

  • The author with the greatest influence on me is my friend Stephen Harrigan, who critiques everything I write before I even bother to show it to my agent or editor. He's a truly great writer - author of Gates of the Alamo and other books you might know of, and his instincts about what's working in a story, and what's not, are just about perfect. My books would be very different without his influence.

So I was actually more familiar with it in a Bruce Li movie than I was actually from the John Wayne film.
