In the summer of '80, Silhouette bought my first book.

There was nothing like a Saturday - unless it was the Saturday leading up to the last week of school and into summer vacation. That of course was all the Saturdays of your life rolled into one big shiny ball.

And each book has to receive your best effort every single time. No slacking.

I generally write a first draft that's pretty lean. Just get the story down.

Summer bachelors like summer breezes, are never as cool as they pretend to be.

When I buy a new book, I always read the last page first, that way in case I die before I finish, I know how it ends. That, my friend, is a dark side.
