I have been reading crime books ever since I was a child, but I had never tried to write one.
When a man has been consistently battering his wife, he shouldn't expect a bouquet of roses from her the morning after he promises to stop.
I think with one exception I've never changed an opening sentence after a book was completed.
My first book, 'Running Loose', was censored back in 1983 or '84. Every book I've written since has been censored somewhere.
I frankly couldn't imagine being a series mystery-fiction writer, churning out book after book about the same viewpoint character.
Entire books are being written about the distractions of social media. I don't believe media compel distraction, but I think it's clear that they afford it.
Any writer, I suppose, feels that the world into which he was born is nothing less than a conspiracy against the cultivation of his talent.
It really bugs me that someone will tell me, after I spent 20 years being educated, how I'm supposed to think.
I write about characters that interest me. And I don't think of my books as being forms of entertainment.
