Much of what we do in life has a huge component of luck.
All writers are mimics, and I'm not interested in picking up somebody else's style or voice.
Tod Goldberg has long been one of the most interesting writers around, and Gangsterland is his biggest and best book so far.
I had been writing fiction since I was in eighth grade, because I loved it.
I do try not to spend much time reading in the suspense genre.
I do like to explore evil characters in my books.
