I Don't Just Want My Books To

I Grew Up Reading Genre Writers, And To The Degree That Eric Ambler And Graham Greene Are Genre Writers, I'm A Genre Writer.

I Don't Just Want My Books To Be About The '30s And '40s. I Want Them To Read As If They Had Been Written Then. I Think Of Them As '40s Novels, Written In The Conservative Narrative Past.

If You're A Writer, You're Always Working.

I Write What I Call 'novels Of Consolation' For People Who Are Bright And Sophisticated.

Good People Don't Spend Their Time Being Good. Good People Want To Spend Their Time Mowing The Lawn And Playing With The Dog. But Bad People Spend All Their Time Being Bad. It Is All They Think About.
