I have an antique console stand-up radio that I bought in a yard sale, that I've always half-believed has magical properties. It's in my office, and it has watched over each of the fifteen books I've written. It also helped me find my wife.

I see myself as an entertainer.

There's always going to be controversy when you write the way I write.

I've always loved adventure stories that involve brilliant kids using their brains to beat systems that seem unbeatable.

Seeing someone reading something I wrote on an airplane - things like that are pretty awesome.

Businesses should follow and learn from others successes and failures in order to better understand and predict their own.

I write about nerds who go the extra mile and become rock stars.
