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

Most of the writers I know have somehow managed to stay in touch with that inner child who's never heard of such a thing as an internal editor.

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

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

Life consists of two sides ... light and dark. Joy and sorrow. Without a balance, one cannot fully experience a full and well-rounded life.

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

Any guy afraid to die was a guy who was afraid to live.
