If you're a freelance writer and aren't used to being ignored, neglected, and generally given short shrift, you must not have been in the business very long.

My childhood may have been more demented than most, because I learned to read very early and was allowed to read whatever I wanted.

If you want something, you don't wait for the world to deal it out for you. You take it.

Celebrities, even insignificant ones like me, are created to be abused by the Great Unwashed.

My dad told me that no one could ever make it as a writer, that my chances were equivalent to winning the lottery - which was good for me, because I like to have something to prove.

My mother is an office manager, my father a professor of economics and financial planner.

I don't like to talk about work in progress, but the novel I'm working on now is definitely not horror.
