Quote

I read a lot. I am an inveterate reader. I always have a novel going.

I primarily read fiction, and I read a good many wonderful books while writing 'The Visibles.'

I write contemporary fiction, and that is what my readers want to read.

I'm always reading several books at the same time, depending on how deeply engrossed in it I am, if it's fiction and if it captures me.

I'm a novelist, that's how I make my livelihood, and I concentrate on the novels.

Novels for me are how I find out what's going on in my own head. And so that's a really useful and indeed critical thing to do when you do as many of these other things as I do.

While writing a novel, I don't read anything new in fiction. I am too engrossed.

I write the kinds of novels I like to read, where the setting is rendered with love and care.

I don't generally read a lot of fiction.
