Quote

I offer optimism. All my books have happy endings. I don't see any point in letting my readers down at the end. I'm an optimist - people feel that in my books.

I put ordinary people in jeopardy and give them the opportunity to be heroic. Then there's a great payoff for the reader at the end, when the heroic character gets what he or she deserves. Readers will come back again and again if they feel satisfied at the end.

I think that the day a justice forgets that each decision comes at a cost to someone, then I think you start losing your humanity.

Unfortunately in life, justice is not always achieved.

You don't reach points in life at which everything is sorted out for us. I believe in endings that should suggest our stories always continue.

Wherever my story takes me, however dark and difficult the theme, there is always some hope and redemption, not because readers like happy endings, but because I am an optimist at heart. I know the sun will rise in the morning, that there is a light at the end of every tunnel.

To me, success is seeing that justice is done.

If one begins all deeds well, it is likely that they will end well too.

I have faith in the justice system, and what will happen will happen. I'm just trying to do the right thing.
