Life Is Short..live To The Fullest.

I Don't Start A Novel Until I Have Lived With The Story For Awhile To The Point Of Actually Writing An Outline And After A Number Of Books I've Learned That The More Time I Spend On The Outline The Easier The Book Is To Write. And If I Cheat On The Outline I Get In Trouble With The Book.

Ten Years From Now I Plan To Be Sitting Here, Looking Out Over My Land. I Hope I'll Be Writing Books, But If Not, I'll Be On My Pond Fishing With My Kids. I Feel Like The Luckiest Guy I Know.

I Always Do Book Signings With The Same Blue Pen. That Way, If I Add A Personalised Message To A Book I've Already Signed, It'll Be In The Same Colour As My Signature.

My Mum Was Never Too Keen On Tv, So We Kids All Went To The Library And Got Books Out. Right From The Start, I Loved The Works Of Mark Twain. Every Time I Read About Tom Sawyer, I'd Go Out And Do Something Low-level Naughty, Just Like Him.
