Hey. Sometimes to conclusions.

The greatest sin for a writer is to be boring.

One problem with age is that patience begins to ebb.

I've never before had the same main character appear in consecutive novels, but I liked Yancy and his attitude, and I was curious to see what would happen to him after Bad Monkey. And I liked the idea of him still trying to get his detective job back while he's stuck on roach patrol.

Sunset on the water ought to be a quiet and easy time, but I guess some people can't stand a little silence.

That's what people do when they find a special place that wild and full of life, they trample it to death.

I'd always wanted to write books ever since I was a kid.
