I have to know the killer, the victim and the motive when I begin. Then I start to create the characters and see how the novel takes shape based on what these people are like.

The most important thing you must decide to do every day is put the Lord first.

No matter what you do each day...or in life...doing things God's way is a matter of the heart.

Expectations destroy our peace of mind. They are future disappointments, planned out in advance.

There are no easy answers, there's only living through the questions.

I'm interested in the dark side of man. I'm interested in taboos, and murder is the greatest taboo. Characters are fascinating in their extremity, not in their happiness.

God is immutable—He never changes! His ministry to you is complete, on target, and constant!
