I Know You Shouldn't Spit In Your

I Was Extraordinarily Lucky. I Wrote A Book Because I Wanted To See If I Could Write A Mystery. Someone Nagged Me Into Sending It To A Contest, Which It Won, After Which I Was Offered A Two-book Contract, Thus Requiring The Writing Of A Second Book.

So Much Of Contemporary Crime Fiction Is Painful To Read And Obsessed With Violence, Particularly Against Women, And I Can't Read That.

And I Don't Want To Live Anywhere Where I Am Famous. It Makes Me Very, Very Uncomfortable, Because It Conveys An Advantage Over People, And I Don't Like That.

Oh, So Seldom Does Fate Cast Our Enemy Into Our Hands, To Do With As We Will

I Do Not Take Any Pleasure Whatsoever In Being A Famous Person.
