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.

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

If work was a good thing, the rich would have it all and not let you do it.

I never see my bad guys as simply bad. They want pretty much the same thing that you and I want: they want to be happy.

There are cities that get by on their good looks, offer climate and scenery, views of mountains or oceans, rockbound or with palm trees. And there are cities like Detroit that have to work for a living.

My purpose is to entertain and please myself. I feel that if I am entertained, then there will be enough other readers who will be entertained, too.
