Can't complain because nobody listens.

I think there's a general misconception that anything written quickly lacks quality, and I don't believe that.

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

Money. The ultimate motivation. The ultimate way of keeping score.

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

Action and adventure on land and sea-you can't ask for more. But Robert Kurson raises the ante in Pirate Hunters with an array of mystery and a fleet of colorful characters spanning four centuries. This is a great summer read!

I think I would spend the first 30 weeks not writing, just clearing my head and seeing parts of the world I haven't seen and going back to places I have seen and love.
