The Writing Life:
I write because it’s what I’ve always enjoyed doing. Writing is like an addiction. The more you do it, the harder it is to stop. I count among my influences writers that have always captivated me: Poe, Malamud, Hemingway, Updike, Mailer, and Philip Roth. And of course the writers of mystery and suspense: Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, Robert B. Parker, John Grisham, David Baldacci, and John Lescroart. I write every day, mornings are best. I work slow and do a lot of rewriting and editing. I usually edit in the afternoons and evenings. And I read a lot.

I get to know my characters intimately, at least the major players. It’s my job to breathe life into them so they can tell their stories. In the end, I hope my work is both entertaining and gives readers a glimpse into lives different from their own.
