There is no absolute beginning to any story, after all. There is only the moment you begin watching.

I'm a bit of a tech geek myself.

You know, being confident isn't the same as being right.

I can't say that I ever actually decided to become a writer. It kind of snuck up on 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.

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