It's As If We Spend Our Entire

I Can't Change Overnight Into A Serious Literary Author. You Can't Compare Apples To Oranges. William Faulkner Was A Great Literary Genius. I Am Not.

I Did Get Tired Of Hearing That Criticism Years Ago. That Is Not A Compliment. Being Labeled A "beach Read" Is A Put-down. So, I Did Deliberately Set Out To Write A Book, Camino Island, That Would Be Very Entertaining And Compulsively Readable And We Published It On June 6 In Time For Summer Vacation, Hoping That People Would Buy It And Take It To The Beach.

I've Written 17 Novels, And I've Found Out That Fiction Can't Keep Up With Real Life.

I Have Learned Not To Read Reviews. Period. And I Hate Reviewers. All Of Them, Or At Least All But Two Or Three. Life Is Much Simpler Ignoring Reviews And The Nasty People Who Write Them. Critics Should Find Meaningful Work.

I Seriously Doubt I Would Ever Have Written The First Story Had I Not Been A Lawyer. I Never Dreamed Of Being A Writer. I Wrote Only After Witnessing A Trial.
