I've always been drawn to historical fiction.

Even Gone With the Wind had a shocking, cold-blooded murder.

I am a voracious reader myself. I don't stick to one genre. My only criteria is that it's a good story. I try to bring that to my work because I think people can read your excitement about a story.

Usually, guys, when something bad happens, they punish someone else.

You didn't realize what was passing you by until you slowed down a little bit to get a better look.

sexual predators were like cockroaches. For every one you saw, there were twenty more hiding behind the walls.

I never felt isolated; I just liked being alone. I think that some people are good at being alone, and some people arent, and as a child, I really liked it.
