I hadn't done anything in six years; I was just vegetating.

When I wrote The Onion Field, I realized that my first two novels were just practice.

The Onion Field made a real writer. And then I knew it was over, I couldn't be a cop anymore.

I write a thousand words a day. Nothing will stop me, I mean nothing, until the book is finished. I'm disciplined in spite of myself.
