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.

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

Women cry. Men laugh. Whiners moan. Men laugh. Wimps complain. Men laugh.

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

Life may not be perfect, at least it offered moments that were perfect enough.

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.

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.
