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

I'm a rich man. To have everything you need is the definition of affluence.

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.

My mother still calls me Jim and that is about it. Everyone else calls me Lee. My wife calls me whatever.

Slippery slope. I carry a spare shirt, pretty soon I'm carrying spare pants. Then I'd need a suitcase. Next thing I know, I've got a house and a car and a savings plan and I'm filling out all kinds of forms.

He had fallen out of the ugly tree, and hit every branch.

I have to warn you. I promised my mother, a long time ago. She said I had to give folks a chance to walk away.
