I'm a bit of a tech geek myself.

I don't ever write with a particular audience in mind. I just write books that please me.

Crime and legal stories, broadly speaking, are just where my interest happens to lie.

Genes are not simple triggers. No one is hardwired to commit murder or any other crime. Our actions are always the result of stupendously complex gene-environment interactions, and environment is likely to remain the more important influence by far.

I am interested in computers and technology, and art, photography, and design.

Good stories are driven by conflict, tension, and high stakes.

Predisposition is not predestination.
