Quote

I'm an efficient, good, professional reporter. But I also write. And so what I try to do is write about places that I know that I care about intensely and write about them in a way that conveys the fact that I care.

I write novels and other things.

I write books to find out about things.

I'm an author. And writers write books. And writing books is a full-time career.

In addition to being a writer, I'm a librarian - professionally trained and everything.

I'm a writer; it's not just what I do, but who I am.

I write as well as I can. I'm a journalist at heart, so it's the story that matters.

I write fiction. I make things up, it's what I do.

I think of myself as a journalist and a storyteller.
