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.

Hatred can eat at you until there's nothing left, until you become the thing you hate.

Anticipation makes pleasure more intense

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

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

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.

Nothing is more complicated than sex. Nor anything so beautifully simple.
