Quote

A book is a book is a book.

To me, a book is a book, an electronic device is not, and love of books was the reason I started writing.

I write books to find out about things.

I think people who read Internet blogs are usually trying to fit it in during a busy part of their day, and there's only so much information that you digest. Whereas an experience with a book is a little more comfortable, and I think people are a little more willing to really delve into information.

To me, novels are a trip of discovery, and you discover things that you don't know and you assume that many of your readers don't know, and you try to bring them to life on the page.

I know, speaking for myself, no matter what I'm able to do, no matter what book comes out and ends up on paper, I always had something bigger and grander in my head.

It's a discovery of a story when I write a book, a case of inching ahead on each page and discovering what's beyond in the darkness, beyond where you're writing.

After a while, you start to realize that you should write a book you would want to read. I try to write a book I would enjoy.

You have your brains, but it's energy and desire that make you write a book.
