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

For me a thriller is a very carefully structured story.

Of course, all writers draw upon their personal experiences in describing day-to-day life and human relationships, but I tend to keep my own experiences largely separate from my stories.

Collins masterfully blends fact and fiction...transcends the historical thriller.

Throat clutching from the outset! The Never List stands as a sterling example of psychological thriller writing at its best. Cancel appointments and give up on sleep. It's that kind of book.

I've often said that there's no such thing as writer's block; the problem is idea block. When I find myself frozen-whether I'm working on a brief passage in a novel or brainstorming about an entire book-it's usually because I'm trying to shoehorn an idea into the passage or story where it has no place.

But one does not make living writing poetry unless you're a professor, and one frankly doesn't get a lot of girls as a poet.
