Novelist to Visit Oakmont
By Regis Behe
They are only words on a page, not sticks and stones.
Yet April Smith admits when she re-read some passages in her new novel, "Good Morning, Killer" -- specifically a violent scene between her heroine, FBI agent Ana Grey, and an attacker -- she broke down.
"I had very emotional moments writing this book," Smith says. "And to tell you the truth, when I re-read ... (one) scene, I just started crying. I was right back in the emotionality of that relationship. The hardest part was having to understand and inhabit the mind of that sadistic, sexual predator."
