“The Lizard Man” grew out of the Carolina swamps I spent my teen years exploring. If I wanted my characters to listen for the cries of the witch-bird La Lechuza or snowshoe in the footprints of a Wendigo, I’d need to see the desert of Southwest Texas and the Northwoods of Wisconsin for myself. It became part of my writing process, letting the landscapes open up the narrative in new and unexpected ways . . .
