Before I became a suspense novelist, I wrote romantic suspense as Alicia Scott.

I'm not the most detailed writer. I have a tendency to be more action-oriented vs. descriptive.

I loved ghost stories, creaky staircases, stormy nights. If it guaranteed nightmares I read it by flashlight, after midnight.

What I learned is that it's arrogant to be certain of anything. The world is a complex place and only idiots or assholes think they know it all.

Post-apocalyptic novels tell you that in the future there is some great war. I would tell you that most cops say that it's going on right now.

I have a huge author crush on Stephen King. Have never met him. Would probably embarrass myself. But it would be worth it.

I'm very intrigued by e-books, the topic du jour in the industry today. As a number one bestselling Kindle author, I love the way e-books make an author's backlist accessible to new readers. Of course, price point remains a source of concern. Personally, I don't have any of the answers, but I'm intrigued by the questions.
