One of the joys of editing small stuff for mass market is I get to reread the parts that make me smile. Still one of my favorite bits of dialogue from Affliction. "What part of sociopath didn't you understand?"

"I can feel that you are mad at him. That's because I am a sociopath. Other people don't experience things in this way so I am going to tell you that I feel your anger so that you know, and your readers know, that I am strange and unusual. Isn't this a fantastic example of showing, not telling! Huh? Right?"
