We try to be driven by what's a good story, what's truthful, and the drama of what happens next.

In my books I try to tell a good story, not give messages.

If you have a beautiful story, it has to have conflict. If you don't have conflict, it can't be a good story.

Tension is the cornerstone of any good story.

Your life story would not make a good book. Don't even try.

I'm a storyteller, not a prophet. I'm just interested in a good story.
