Don't worry about what your mother thinks of your language.

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

I don't get in a position to be frightened. I don't do anything dangerous, and I always pay my bills.

I don't have any of the modern stuff. I don't have e-mail. I don't have a computer!

There are 500 million people on Facebook, but what are they saying to each other? Not much.

Never use a verb other than "said" to carry dialogue... I once noticed Mary McCarthy ending a line of dialogue with "she asseverated" and had to stop reading and go to the dictionary.

I don't judge in my books. I don't have to have the antagonist get shot or the protagonist win. It's just how it comes out. I'm just telling a story.
