I View People Two Ways. They're Either

I Wrote My First Real Murder Story As A Journalist For The Daytona Beach News Journal In 1980. It Was About A Body Found In The Woods. Later, The Murder Was Linked To A Serial Killer Who Was Later Caught And Executed For His Crimes.

I Realize Now I Could Have Gotten A Whole Book Out Of That And So I Think That Was A Big Mistake. But The Truth Is You Write In The Moment And With Your Head Down And There Is No Way Back Then That I Could Have Conceived Of Harry Having The Longevity That He Has Had.

I've Been Able To Write At Least One Book A Year For 20 Years, And I Don't Think I Would've Had That Kind Of Drive If I Hadn't Come Out Of The Journalism Business.

I Saw A Sneak Preview Of Jack Reacher And Give Two Thumbs Up To Tom Cruise. He Did A Great Job With The Role.

The Writing Ethic Was Influenced - When You Have To Write Every Day, There's No Such Thing As Writer's Block.
