I am more of a suspense writer. A mystery writer solves mysteries. I am a 'high suspense' writer.

Mystery writing involves solving a puzzle, but 'high suspense' writing is a situation whereby the writer thrusts the hero/heroine into high drama.

I write 'by the seat of my pants.' I love to do research. I am inspired by contemporary writers and contemporary events. I live in the real world.

I'm not impersonating anybody. I'm perfectly satisfied with what I am.

I'm a writer more than I am a talker.

I was just as voracious a writer as I was a reader.
