If what you know and what you love are the same thing, that's great. But if not, write what you love. I love history, secrets, conspiracies, action, adventure, international settings.

History serves as a model not only of who and what we are to be, we learn what to champion and what to avoid.

Ninety-five percent of all writers who write do not get published, but 100 percent of all writers write because they have a voice in their head. The vast majority of writers simply write because they have to.

Say it, do it, preach it, shout it, but never, absolutely never, believe your own bullshit.

Study the past if you would define the future. --CONFUCIUS

Everyday decision-making around the world is constantly based on what came before us.
