Even If You Are A Best-seller You

I Hate The Term "mystery". That's Not What I Write. I Think The Scarpetta Novels Are Much More Character-driven Than An Average Puzzle Solver. Writing Should Be Like A Pane Of Glass - There's Another World On The Other Side And Your Vision Carries You There, But You're Not Aware Of Having Passed Through A Barrier To Get There.

I Didn't Invent Forensic Science And Medicine. I Just Was One Of The First People To Recognize How Interesting It Is.

If Everybody, Every Day, Would Try To Do One Thing That Pulls Them Beyond Themselves The World Will Start Being A Better Place.

I'm Very, Very Sensitive To Pain And To People Who Suffer.

Everyone Is Doing Forensics.
