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

If you choose to do something, do it with your utmost. And remember, expect nothing and life will be velvet.

You try as a parent. You love beyond reason. You fight beyond endurance. You hope beyond despair. You never think, until the very last moment, that it still might not be enough.

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

We're all in this together - when one writer succeeds, all writers succeed. I love discovering new authors. I think we need to take care of each other and talk about craft and nurture talent.

My mother would like me to start all interviews by stating that she and my father are perfectly normal. They are proud of me, and as perplexed as anyone by my novels.

My secret vice is Sudoku puzzles. Can't stop playing them. My parents are accountants. I blame them entirely.
