    and everyone in the room knows it.

    03

    Someone crosses a line.
    How do you respond?

    and in a way that sends a message to everyone watching.

    financially,
    and politically before they even know I’ve moved.
    CDirectly.
    Old school.
    You cross me,
    you hear about it to your face — and then you deal with the consequences.

    calculate the fallout,
    and find the move that keeps the whole system from collapsing.

    04

    Where do you feel most in your element?
    Sheridan’s worlds are as much about place as they are about people.

    AWide open land —
    mountains,
    sky,
    silence.
    Somewhere you can see trouble coming from a mile away.
    BThe oil fields of West Texas —
    brutal,
    lucrative,
    and indifferent to whoever happens to be standing on top of them.
    CA mid-size city where the rules haven’t quite caught up yet —
    fertile ground for someone with vision and nerve.
    DA rust-belt town built around a prison —
    where everyone’s life is shaped by what’s inside those walls.
