Generally My Typical Books Have Lots Of

I've Worked For Law Firms, I've Worked For Corporations, And For The Past 20 Years, I've Been Writing Working For Myself, And Believe Me It's A Lot Better. That's A Big Part Of The James Bond Panache, That You're Responsible, 100 Percent Responsible, For The Success Or Failure Of Your Mission In Life, Whatever It Is.

I've Often Said That There's No Such Thing As Writer's Block; The Problem Is Idea Block. When I Find Myself Frozen-whether I'm Working On A Brief Passage In A Novel Or Brainstorming About An Entire Book-it's Usually Because I'm Trying To Shoehorn An Idea Into The Passage Or Story Where It Has No Place.

Of Course, All Writers Draw Upon Their Personal Experiences In Describing Day-to-day Life And Human Relationships, But I Tend To Keep My Own Experiences Largely Separate From My Stories.

Certainly Going Back To Sherlock Holmes We Have A Tradition Of Forensic Science Featured In Detective Stories.

Ideally, I Like To Integrate The Human Issues Into The Suspense Story Itself.
