I'm scattered, and then that last hundred pages, bam, I'm a laser.

I'd read a lot of thrillers about politicians and presidents, but never one where you flip the stereotypes and make good people bad and bad people good.

I'm ever curious about the world. I'm driven to go out and find new things to write about. Having a vivid imagination is also a plus.

Why can't people just sit and read books and be nice to each other?

It's not getting from A to B. It's not the beginning or the destination that counts. It's the ride in between...This train is alive with things that should be seen and heard. It's a living, breathing something -- you just have to want to learn its rhythm.

Passion is a rare commodity. When you find it, treasure it and never give it up!

I'm a wicked ping-pong player.
