Zitat des Tages von Lisa Gardner:
I like to believe my suspense novels marry the strong characters from my romance writing past, with the twisty, clever plots of my mystery writing present.
We're all in this together - when one writer succeeds, all writers succeed. I love discovering new authors. I think we need to take care of each other and talk about craft and nurture talent.
My secret vice is Sudoku puzzles. Can't stop playing them. My parents are accountants. I blame them entirely.
It is difficult to get men to pick up a female author. Women will read men, but men won't read women.
I still like the relationship part of any story. You don't want your character to figure everything out and then at the end of the day, go home and eat soup from a can by herself.
Before I became a suspense novelist, I wrote romantic suspense as Alicia Scott.
I think one of the appeals of suspense is to safely explore our innermost fears.
All I've really ever done is write since I was 17, so I don't know anything about anything. For me to do a novel, I have to talk to people who know things. And what keeps me in suspense is that I am a crime aficionado.
