First Of All, It Does Not Deter

I Hate The Term "mystery". That's Not What I Write. I Think The Scarpetta Novels Are Much More Character-driven Than An Average Puzzle Solver. Writing Should Be Like A Pane Of Glass - There's Another World On The Other Side And Your Vision Carries You There, But You're Not Aware Of Having Passed Through A Barrier To Get There.

I Wouldn't Want To Assume That All Men Are Like You. If I Did, I Know I Would Give Them Up Entirely

And Suddenly The World Was Filled With Wooden Faces And Flat Voices - And, You Were Alone.

I Believe The Root Of All Evil Is Abuse Of Power.

Even When I Am Writing I Usually Take A Break Around Lunchtime And Go For A Little Walk To Clear Out My Head.
