Not dreams but night changes, not destiny but path changes, always keep your hopes alive, luck may or may not change, but time definitely chages.

To me, a book is a book, an electronic device is not, and love of books was the reason I started writing.

I want the reader to know what's going on. So there's never a mystery in my books.

I left advertising as fast as I could in 1961. And I haven't ever thought about going back.

Skip the boring parts.

Never open a book with weather. There are exceptions. If you happen to be Barry Lopez, who has more ways to describe ice and snow than an Eskimo, you can do all the weather reporting you want.

All the information you need can be given in dialogue.
