I love love stories, no matter how dark.

I like exploring both the light parts and the dark parts of a single person. And all of those shades tend to come out most acutely in stories about families.

I think that people are fascinated with the stories, with human nature and the dark turns it can take.

I think the darker aspect of my fiction-or anybody's fiction-is by its very nature somehow easier to talk about.

I like stories where normal people are in abnormal situations, and that's what appeals to me about history.

On a deeper level, I think many stories - especially thrillers - can be a journey to the heart of darkness.

My stories are often a little mysterious.

I've always been a happy-go-lucky person. I haven't got any dark tales, I didn't draw on my own past, I'm from a very normal stable background and had an amazing childhood, and I haven't got any complaints really.

I like stories that are not normal, everyday lives. I don't personally seek them out, but they find me.

Stories are amazing and powerful because they can resonate with people depending on their needs and experiences and speak truths we need to hear in that moment in time.
