I like to believe my suspense novels marry the strong characters from my romance writing past, with the twisty, clever plots of my mystery writing present.

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.

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.

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.

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

When you're on book tours, you definitely need chocolate. At all times.
