Man who betrayed you once would betray you twice.

The most expensive part of building is the mistakes.

An awful lot of thriller writers write women rather badly. So just doing it OK gets a lot of credit.

When I'm writing a woman character, I don't think, 'What would a woman do?' I just think, 'What would this character do in this situation?

Most of my stories have some basis in fact.

In my books, women often solve the problem. Even if the woman is not the hero, she's a strong character. She does change the plot. She'll often rescue the male character from some situation.

The degradation to which you subject others comes back, sooner or later, to haunt you.
