come and get it, you dumbass

I was just as voracious a writer as I was a reader.

Mystery writing involves solving a puzzle, but high suspense writing is a situation whereby the writer thrusts the hero/heroine into high drama.

I am more of a suspense writer. A mystery writer solves mysteries. I am a high suspense writer.

I write 'by the seat of my pants.' I love to do research. I am inspired by contemporary writers and contemporary events. I live in the real world.

I can't be easy. It's not my nature. But it's my nature to love you.

In the end, we all have to decide what we're willing to give up for payback. We all have parents or grandparents or children who will need us. Agonizing decisions sometimes. You have to weigh the memories and debt against what's being taken from you.
