Quote

I consider what I write to be literature. I choose the words carefully.

Literature at its fullest takes human nature as its theme. That's the kind of writing that interests me.

As a student, I wrote English reports on science fiction.

Like most writers, I read deeply into the genre in which I write.

I try to write about things, places, events, and phenomena I know about personally. That helps make the novels more genuine.

I read, therefore I'm interested in writers.

Oddly enough, I never studied writing. I studied almost everything except writing.

Writing is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go.

When I'm writing a novel, I'm usually just trying to write about things that are interesting to me.

I just try to write entertaining books that are easily identifiable.
