Every successful author I know faced crushing rejection early on, and they got back up and kept going.

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

Long Gone is the type of book that should come with a warning. It’s a compulsively readable, highly addictive story. The ending will leave you breathless.

I think a lot of guys who are on the internet a lot, they're kind of anesthetized to some of the violent language and all that because they see it all the time.

A lot of men just don't read. They don't read fiction at all.

I don't understand people who say they're bored. Look out your window.

If you're a smart guy, you should really try to find out what women are thinking. I mean, we are 51 percent of the population.
