I think a lot of young aspiring writers get misdirected; they think 'I ought to write this, even though I enjoy reading that'. What you have to do is write what you enjoy reading.

In the shaded portions where the two spheres of different lives meet, certain fundamentals- moods, loves, fears, angers- can't be hidden. That's the contract.

If you have a craftsman's command of the language and basic writing techniques you'll be able to write - as long as you know what you want to say

Ideally, I like to integrate the human issues into the suspense story itself.

I also try very hard to create characters - both heroes and villains - with psychological depth.

I've often said that there's no such thing as writer's block, the problem is idea block

I write pretty much anywhere - on planes, in hotel rooms, anywhere in my house.
