Some writers hate to go to trials, but I love trials.

The why of murder always fascinates me so much more than the how.

Lazy people tend not to take chances, but express themselves by tearing down other's work.

I'm publicizing the book that's done. I'm writing the book that's in the hopper, and I'm doing a little advance research on the book to come.

I want to warn potential victims. Many of them are women, and many of them are battered women. It's a cause for me. When I look back, though, so many of the books I've written are about wives who just couldn't get away.

I always want to give the victim a voice.
