To find riches is a beggar’s dream, but to find love is the dream of kings.

If you don't know why,I could never explain it to you.

The part of my writing I find the most rewarding is when people write to me or speak to me in public to tell me how his or her life has been changed by my books.

When they die, no one will ever know that they lived on this earth.

I think that's because believable action is based on authenticity, and accuracy is very important to me. I always spend time researching my novels, exploring the customs and attitudes of the county I'm using for their setting.

There's this sense of excitement because you invent and control the characters. You decide whether they live or die. I find this type of creative process tremendously stimulating.

Not now.It's too late.It was always too late.
