When Witnesses Concoct Lies, They Often Miss

Mr. Buckley, Let Me Explain It This Way. And I'll Do So Very Carefully & Slowly So That Even You Will Understand It. If I Was The Sheriff, I Would Not Have Arrested Him. If I Was On The Grand Jury, I Would Not Have Indicted Him. If I Was The Judge, I Would Not Try Him. If I Was The D.a., I Would Not Prosecute Him. If I Was On The Trial Jury, I Would Vote To Give Him A Key To The City, A Plaque To Hang On His Wall, & I Would Send Him Home To His Family. And, Mr. Buckley, If My Daughter Is Ever Raped, I Hope I Have The Guts To Do What He Did.

I Remember Stephen King Did A Fundraiser One Time With J.k. Rowling And He Was Very Impressed With Her. But We Talk A Lot About Publishing, Bookselling, And Book Writing. He's Been Around For Ten Years Longer Than Me And Was A Bestseller Right Off The Bat. And He's Seen And Done Everything. It's Rare To Be With Somebody Who Has Been Through All Of That.

I Was A Lawyer For 10 Years - A Short Time, But It Molded Me Into Who I Am.

Stephen King Told Me A Long Time Ago, When He Gave Me Some Advice About The Movies. He Said To Take The Money Up Front And Expect It To Be Something Different Than The Book And If You Don't Like That Don't Deal With Hollywood. But If You Take The Money, Shut Up And Don't Criticize The Film Because You Sold It. The Movie Doesn't Change A Word Of The Book.

I Did Get Tired Of Hearing That Criticism Years Ago. That Is Not A Compliment. Being Labeled A "beach Read" Is A Put-down. So, I Did Deliberately Set Out To Write A Book, Camino Island, That Would Be Very Entertaining And Compulsively Readable And We Published It On June 6 In Time For Summer Vacation, Hoping That People Would Buy It And Take It To The Beach.
