I enjoy a special collegiality among other writers in the thriller community. They call me Canadas scariest writer, and I love that.

Psychological horror is more interesting to me than the explicitly physical.

Monsters just outside our peripheral vision are scarier to contemplate than monsters miles away or in someplace only a fool would set foot in.

Sometimes people close a door because they’re trying to figure out a way to get you to knock.

To make the reader afraid, I had to be afraid.

I just hated the law. I wasnt cut out for it. I couldnt imagine spending my life doing that, so I quit before I began.

We need to kind of refresh our fear in order to refresh our understanding of how a safe place works.
