No, I'm a man with a rule. People leave me alone, I leave them alone. If they don't, I don't.

I don't need validation, recognition or praise. What I need are facts and the facts are that one of my books gets sold, somewhere in the world, every second.

I have three desks. One empty for paperwork, one for the internet and email, and one for the writing computer.

I need a stimulating environment to write because my books are driven at 100 miles per hour at a time.

I'm twenty-nine, yes really, I'm from Aspen, Colorado, I'm six feet one, yes really, I've been at Quantico two years, yes I date guys, no I dress like this just because I like it, no I'm not married, no I don't currently have a boyfriend, and no I don't want to have dinner with you tonight.

I like food, like any other guy, but it is not the main thing in my life. I can do without it.

That should be your town motto. It's all I ever hear. Like: New Hampshire, Live Free or Die. It should be: Despair, You Need To Leave Now.
