When I am so intensely involved with writing my books I don't like to reread them.

No Way Back is my kind of novel - a tough, taut thriller - Mofina knows the world he writes about.

You know what I did after I wrote my first novel? I shut up and wrote twenty-three more.

I don't miss being a reporter as a job, but I do miss the everyday interaction with the front line of law enforcement. I still have a cadre of cops who keep me up to date, but I don't have the access I used to.

It’s lucky no one else knows what our most secret thoughts are. We’d all be seen for the cunning, self-aggrandizing fools we are.

I think the only boundaries are individual and personal. A writer should be free to write about anything he or she wants to, including the twin towers. I have made small references to 9/11 in my past two books.

I'm a pretty harsh critic when it comes to my own stuff or things that come from my work.
