A major theme in all my books is that the CIA is not only the first line of defense but they should also be the first line of offense.
There's a lot more to publishing a book than writing it and slapping a cover on it.
A good football team plays offense and defense. You have to be aggressive and disrupt.
I am a huge fan of Alan Furst. Furst is the best in the business--the most talented espionage novelist of our generation.
I'm a big believer in free enterprise. If people want to try it, then go for it.
I have been blessed to have the same editor and work for a great publishing house.
