I loved to read, and I think any child who loves to read will read anything, including the back of the cereal box, which I did every morning.

We weren't doing blow jobs when I was growing up.

I try to create new characters in each book I write. That's what makes writing fun and interesting for me.

Things change…things happen…things you can’t even imagine when you’re young and full of hope.

Nothing teaches you as much about writing dialogue as listening to it.

I always had stories inside my head and one day I just decided to start writing them down. I didn't actually decide.

I'm really quite bad at coming up with plot ideas. I like to create characters and just see what will happen to them when I let them loose!
