In general, I think, less is more, and that if a reader stops reading because a book is too icky then I've failed in my obligation to the readers.

My books are primarily plot driven but the best plot in the world is useless if you don't populate them with characters that readers can care about.

Breathtakingly real and utterly compelling, Immoral dishes up page-turning psychological suspense while treating us lucky readers to some of the most literate and stylish writing you'll find anywhere today.

So I work hard to present the human side of my characters while not neglecting the plot.

I liked the challenge of writing in a very concise structure in which both meaning and form are important.

People want to avoid the past. I suppose that's natural. When we tally up all we've said and done over the years, despite the wonderful memories, the regrets may be fewer but stand out more prominently, glowing coals that we can never quite extinguish, try though we might

In other words, the people who populate my books are more than caricatures.
