The 'Stephanie Plums' are very much Jersey books. So you can't get away from attitude and objectionable language.

What I do miss is the Jersey Shore.

'Plum's are probably the funniest, but all the books have their own degree of humor. But if you're hooked into 'Ranger,' you're reading it for the romance.

I go to bars and restaurants, and I sit and I eavesdrop on people and I watch people in shopping centers and, you know, I read the newspapers and I talk to the Trenton cops, and I just get a lot of information that comes in that somehow turns into a book.

As writers, we all have an agenda, but if you recognize that agenda in a book, then you've failed.

When you're trying to expand your business, it's about real estate in the stores.
