Of course, I write crime stories, and I have to describe violence and the aftermath of violence.
From Jeffery Deaver
Rule one: Write about settings you're familiar with.
The easy answer is that writing novels is a lot more fun than practicing law.
For me a thriller is a very carefully structured story.
I spend eight months outlining and researching the novel before I begin to write a single word of the prose.
I liked the challenge of writing in a very concise structure in which both meaning and form are important.
