I haven't scoured Dixie out of my voice. But I don't think that the books that I have written... have really in any way been Southern in character.
My goal is to write books that are quality books with very real characters and a gripping plot.
I would rather be adorned by beauty of character than jewels. Jewels are the gift of fortune, while character comes from within.
I don't think there's a difference between writing for a newspaper or magazine and doing a chapter in a book.
Describe character using dialogue. Describe character using what the characters see or do or think, but not what they had done or where they had been.
All the women in my life have been librarians, English teachers and book sellers.
I frankly couldn't imagine being a series mystery-fiction writer, churning out book after book about the same viewpoint character.
Life being very short, and the quiet hours of it few, we ought to waste none of them in reading valueless books.
For the 'Riddick' character, I try to get as ruthless as possible, and I want to be a machine.
