I Know There Are People Who Believe

Ideas Are Easy. It's The Execution Of Ideas That Really Separates The Sheep From The Goats.

I Started Writing Seriously When I Was 18, Wrote My First Novel When I Was 22, And I've Never Stopped Writing Since.

I've Never Known Anyone Yet Who Doesn't Suffer A Certain Restlessness When Autumn Rolls Around... We're All Eight Years Old Again And Anything Is Possible.

A Is For Alibi, My First Book, Was Published In 1982. As It Happened The Next Couple Of Books Took Place In June And August Of That Year. Without Meaning To I Painted Myself Into A Corner. The Other Issue Was The Aging Process. I Did Not Want My Main Character To Age One Year For Every Book So I Slowed The Whole Process Down. This Way I Could Get Through All 26 Letters Of The Alphabet Without Making Her 109 Years Old In 2015. I Might End The Series In Either 1990 Or On New Years Eve 1989.

I Caution Writers All The Time To Slow Down And Pay More Attention To The Work In Front Of Them Than To The End Result. I Don't Think You Write One Book And Get Anywhere. I Think You Write Five Books And Then Maybe You Are Finally On The Right Path.
