Never get in the middle of someone else's quicksand.

If you don't have a burning passion for writing, how can you expect anyone else to be moved by what you write?

I've always loved books. My mother told me that before I could talk, I'd babble in my crib as I turned the pages of my little cloth books, apparently telling stories to go along with the pictures.

I've always read suspense, so raising the stakes to life and death situations in my romance plots seemed natural.

One of the reasons writers are never satisfied with their work is because they're always striving to do better.

Bruises fade. Death is permanent.

Reporters ... most were carrion who fed on human tragedy.
