You've Got Your Hands Full If You

There's Always Things That You Know About That Nobody Else, Because Everybody's Life Is Different. So You Write About What You Know. That's Number One.

I Really Fall In Love With My Characters, Even The Bad Ones. I Love Getting Together With Them. They Tell Me What To Do; They Take Me On A Wild And Wonderful Trip.

Authors Change Publishers Because It's Like Being Married For A Long Time And Suddenly You Want To Go Out And Have A Wild Affair! No, Not Seriously, Sometimes The Deal Is More Interesting With A New Publisher, And Other Times They Have More Enthusiasm For Your Books.

Do Not Copy My Style! The First Rule Of Writing Is Write About What You Know, Not What You Think You Know. So, Think About What You've Done In Your Life And Write About That.

I Write Synopses After The Book Is Completed. I Can't Write It Beforehand, Because I Don't Know What The Book's About. I Invent Something For My Publisher Because He Asks For One, But The Final Book Ends Up Very Differently.
