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

Kids don’t do what their parents say-they do what they see their parents do. So who was to blame here?

There are three things that make a person a writer: inspiration, perspiration and desperation.

I am very lucky that I get to tell stories for a living. I love being able to grab people's attention, to keep them turning the pages, to make them stay awake all night. I want to stir the pulse, yes, but also to stir the heart. I hope 'The Woods' does that.

Years fly by, but the heart stays in the same place.

Only bad writers think they're good.
