I enjoy people who aren't afraid to say what they mean. It makes life so much easier!

Any experience that isn't fun is probably something I will at least use in my writing someday.

I write contemporary fiction, and that is what my readers want to read.

I was a lawyer for about ten years. The law teaches one to see things from all different angles.

Since I've written many of my books from a less-than-sympathetic viewpoint, I think that being able to see things from all sides is a useful talent.

Each of my books took roughly one and a half years to write. Some may have taken a shorter time to write the draft and a longer time to revise, while others were the opposite.
