I've loved thrillers and spy stories since I was a kid. It's probably not a bad rule of thumb to write the kinds of stories you love to read.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I read a lot of thrillers, especially American crime novels.
I read what I like to write: romantic suspense. I also love thrillers and novels of suspense, but I can't handle extreme violence and torture.
I read a lot of thrillers because they're easy reading and I'm not a great flier. They take my head out of it. I like the fast pace and that you can't put them down.
I've always had a great affection for espionage stories. I like weaving them, and I like thrillers.
For me a thriller is a very carefully structured story.
I write crime novels and thrillers - I'm a big fan of cops. You can never forget that they run towards what everyone else runs away from.
I love reading. I'm very much into history, novels, biographies and I have a wide range of thrillers.
As a viewer, I really want to watch author-backed stories, and there is something amazing about thrillers, the way it captivates your imagination.
I have always loved story - I escaped within it as a child, I read every day, I love figuring out the complex layers of an author's work.
I don't like writing straight-up thrillers. I like writing about families hurled into crisis and danger - soccer moms and regular dads and husbands who might have to rescue their daughters or who are, say, hedge fund managers and have one foot on the sidelines watching their kids and the other in nefarious cover-ups and conspiracies.
