And I have to consider myself fortunate, because there are plenty of writers who spend most of a lifetime looking for that certain something without ever finding it.

There are lots of other things that I haven't done, places I haven't seen. So eventually I'll have to find time for those things while there still is time.

Writers are in the entertainment business, and it gives me lots of pleasure to entertain my readers.

But other vampire stories? Well, no, I really haven't read too many, and I can't say I'm crazy about romantic vampires anyway - to me the vampire is simply an evil monster.

I have friends who read my books in Greek.

The Army was my bread and butter.

But I've found that to talk too much about movies is the kiss of death. If it happens then it happens, is all.
