All writers are mimics, and I'm not interested in picking up somebody else's style or voice.

When I write a book, I'm making it the best book I can.

There are days when I intentionally don't write. For instance, I never write when I'm traveling, because travel is a situation where I can learn more by looking and listening than by working.

I do like to explore evil characters in my books.

Much of what we do in life has a huge component of luck.

I don't have dry seasons, because I don't allow them.

Yes, in my books I do edit myself to keep from becoming the Village Explainer.
