Everyone has a book inside of them - but it doesn't do any good until you pry it out.

Most people in America want an easy read. I call it McFiction - books which pass right through you without you even digesting them. I don't mean a book that has two-syllable words. I mean chapters you can read in a toilet break. Happy endings. We are more of a TV culture.

Everyone is normal until you get to know them.

There's a market for mysteries for adults. That feeling of opening a book and delving inside and not coming out until you've closed the book.
