I have learned not to read reviews. Period. And I hate reviewers. All of them, or at least all but two or three. Life is much simpler ignoring reviews and the nasty people who write them. Critics should find meaningful work.

I was a lawyer for 10 years - a short time, but it molded me into who I am.

Critics should find meaningful work.

I don't feel stupid, just inadequate. After three years of studying the law, I'm very much aware of how little I know.

I can't change overnight into a serious literary author. You can't compare apples to oranges. William Faulkner was a great literary genius. I am not.

I'm a Christian, and those beliefs occasionally come out in the books.

The coffee arrives, and we backslide into what lawyers do best---talking about other lawyers.
