I Have To Warn You. I Promised

Don't Get It Right - Get It Written!

I Had A Brief Theater Background And Loved The Backstage World There's More Backstage Work In Television, So I Saw A Job Advertised And Applied, And Got It. That Was Back In 1977, When Getting Jobs Was Easy.

I Always Wanted To Be In The World Of Entertainment. I Just Love The Idea Of An Audience Being Happy With What I Am Doing. Writing Is Showbusiness For Shy People. That's How I See It.

The Key To Thrillers Is Vicarious Pleasure.

I Write In The Afternoon, From About 12 Until 6 Or 7. I Use An Upstairs Room As My Office. Once I Get Going I Keep At It, And It Usually Takes About Six Months From The First Blank Screen Until 'the End.
