All I've really ever done is write since I was 17, so I don't know anything about anything. For me to do a novel, I have to talk to people who know things. And what keeps me in suspense is that I am a crime aficionado.

I really don't care if people know who I am or what's said about me.

There are a lot of people who don't know me and what I am all about.

People want to know more about me. They want to know who I am.

Anything nice that's said about me is diametrically opposed to who I am.

I don't know much about international policing and I would love to learn more. Especially in this day and age when the Internet is rapidly reducing borders and crime can happen on a larger scale than ever before. These things intrigue me.
