I always had good students.

History is beautiful stories or scary stories, yeah.

I always want to read Gore Vidal's nonfiction. Because everything he writes is an essay and it's worth reading.

I love thrillers. I would even read certain science fiction, although I haven't been a devotee for many years.

When you are writing a character, what the character says is obviously crucial. But what the character doesn't say is absolutely as important as his words.

I don't think I want to write a third book. But the more people talk to me about it, the more I think maybe I do.

I always write the best that I can. And I won't publish it until I have done it right.
