I Spend Eight Months Outlining And Researching

I Like The Way Words Go Together And I Like The Gamesmanship Of Writing Poetry. It Is Such A Challenge.

People With Children And People With Their Own Business Always Pick Up A Ringing Phone.

In General, I Think, Less Is More, And That If A Reader Stops Reading Because A Book Is Too Icky Then I've Failed In My Obligation To The Readers.

I Also Try Very Hard To Create Characters - Both Heroes And Villains - With Psychological Depth.

Hardcover Books Are Fairly Expensive These Days And To Read One Requires A Significant Commitment Of Time In Our Busy Society. So I Want To Make Sure That When Readers Buy One Of My Books They Get Something They're Familiar With.
