I don't believe in writing anything that I don't know about or haven't researched about personally. I like to transport the reader to places, and in order to do that I have to do the research.

Ideas are all around me. If I wasn't interested in them myself, I don't think anyone else would be either.

Authors change publishers because it's like being married for a long time and suddenly you want to go out and have a wild affair! No, not seriously, sometimes the deal is more interesting with a new publisher, and other times they have more enthusiasm for your books.

My weakness is wearing too much leopard print.

If you want to be a writer-stop talking about it and sit down and write!

My books flow. People say they pick them up and they can't put them down. It's because when I'm writing them I pick my pen up and I cannot put my pen down.

There's always things that you know about that nobody else, because everybody's life is different. So you write about what you know. That's number one.
