A Stunner…reminds Me Of Tom Clancy At

The Truth Is Often One's Best Shield.

With Two Books A Year, I Don't Have Time For Writer's Block.

The Turning Point Was When I Hit My 30th Birthday. I Thought, If Really Want To Write, It's Time To Start. I Picked Up The Book How To Write A Novel In 90 Days. The Author Said To Just Write Three Pages A Day, And I Figured, I Can Do This. I Never Got Past Page 3 Of That Book.

I'm Pretty Disciplined To Keep The Momentum Of A Story Going By Writing Everyday, Even If It's Only A Couple Paragraphs Or A Page Or Two.

Fiction Writing Was In My Blood From A Very Young Age, But I Never Considered Writing As A Real Career. I Thought You Had To Have Some Literary Pedigree To Be A Successful Author, The Son Of Hemingway Or Fitzgerald.
