Loss Is The Hardest Thing, I Said.

Eventually, As My Books Became Best-sellers, The Nickels Pile Up And One Day I Was Offered A Substantial Four-book Deal That Was Lucrative As Any Airliner Hijacking In History. Though Writing Those Four Books Was Hard Work, At Least I Didn't Have To Wear Kevlar Body Armor, Carry Heavy Bandoliers Of Spare Ammunition, Or Work With Associates Named Mad Dog.

While I Like People, I Do Also Like Being Alone In A Room And Seeing What You Can Do With A Particular Theme Or Subject.

I Do Give Books As Gifts Sometimes, When People Would Rather Have One Than A New Ferrari.

People Couldn't Bear To Go On Living If They Faced Every Cold Truth About Themselves.

Never, Never Try To Scope The Market.
