I Didn't Invent Forensic Science And Medicine.

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

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 Like Crazy Shoes Or Unusual Cowboy Boots And I Collect Big Belt Buckles.

I Wouldn't Want To Donate My Body For Scientific Study.

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