Terry often based her fashions on designer stuff, sometimes provided by my wife Barb. Anyway, I'm a male writing about a female and leaving out the fashion POV of a modern working woman wouldn't be right.<BR/><BR/>As for her swearing, I never noticed she was particularly salty in the novel. I did consciously pull back on it in the comic book, because in that context such language seemed to jump out -- she used "fuck" in the first graphic novel (serialized in ECLIPSE MAGAZINE) and it sort of jarred.<BR/><BR/>Neither the fashion aspect nor the swearing were conscious decisions; they flowed organically out of the novel.Max Allan Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00867456003618637948noreply@blogger.com
