I am, after all, a thriller writer. I routinely delve into the darkest chambers of the human heart. I've written about murder, kidnapping, depravity, horror, violence, and disfigurement.

A trial is two narratives competing for your attention.

I love to make even villains people you can relate to. When you find out who did it, I think you almost like the person, which is not easy to do.

Its funny how you can let yourself forget for seconds, how even in the heat of the horrible, you can have moments when you fool yourself into thinking it might all be okay

I once worked as a tour guide in the Costa del Sol of Spain.

I'm thinking of taking up golf, but the idea of spending time with golfers frightens me.

I love stories. When I'm writing, what I pretend subconsciously is that we're cavemen, we're sitting around the fire, and I'm telling you stories. If I bore you, you're probably going to pick up a big club and hit me over the head.
