To Me, A Book Is A Book,

I Try To Leave Out The Parts Readers Skip.

Bad Guys Are Not Bad Guys Twenty-four Hours A Day.

I Want The Reader To Know What's Going On. So There's Never A Mystery In My Books.

Never Use A Verb Other Than "said" To Carry Dialogue... I Once Noticed Mary Mccarthy Ending A Line Of Dialogue With "she Asseverated" And Had To Stop Reading And Go To The Dictionary.

Everyone Has His Own Sound. I'm Not Going To Presume How To Tell Anybody How To Write.
