Im 48 years old, not a kid anymore by any definition, but here is a universal truth that every adult at some point will realize: We are all always 17 years old, waiting for our lives to begin.

This is the price you pay for having a great father. You get the wonder, the joy, the tender moments - and you get the tears at the end, too.

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

Writing a novel in general is like trying to reach a mountain top you'll never quite reach - so you try again and maybe get a little closer.

I would never write a memoir, because it would be too boring.

In real life, coincidences happen all the time. In novels, they are leapt upon with fury.

There is a certain fate to the universe and a certain randomness.
