It's not the books by Stephen King that I read, I need protection from the things in my head . . .

Jilly CooperHaving your book turned into a movie is like seeing your oxen turned into bouillon cubes.

Dick WolfSo I thought I should write five pages a day. And that's what I did. Eventually I had a book.
Don WinslowI think that writers of literary fiction would do well to read more books for children.
