Im All About Entertaining And Keeping A

One Novel That I Think Is An Overriding Influence In My Life Is 'all The King's Men,' The Most Beautiful Book Written In The U.s.

I Don't Like Writing Straight-up Thrillers. I Like Writing About Families Hurled Into Crisis And Danger - Soccer Moms And Regular Dads And Husbands Who Might Have To Rescue Their Daughters Or Who Are, Say, Hedge Fund Managers And Have One Foot On The Sidelines Watching Their Kids And The Other In Nefarious Cover-ups And Conspiracies.

Blind Curve, The Book I'm Working On Now, Sprang From A Crazy Incident That Happened To Me Last Year While On My Book Tour. I Was Pulled Out Of My Car For A Minor Traffic Violation - An Incident That Escalated Into My Being Thrown Into Cuffs And Told I Was Going To Jail. Except In My Story, The Hero Doesn't Get Off As Easily As I Did.

As For Suspense, I Like To Write Books That Draw You Into The Hero's Plight From The Opening Pages, Where People Put Their Lives On The Line For Something - A Belief, A Family Member, The Truth.

'good As Gone' Goes From Zero To 60 In Under Six Seconds And Never Lets Off The Gas! If You Like Your Thrillers Filled With Nonstop Action In A Race Against Time Through Europe's Underbelly, Hop In And Take A Ride.
