In My Case, Once You Sell A

I Give Off Rather Mixed Messages About The Law. On The One Hand, I Can Honestly Say I Don't Miss Working In A Law Office. On The Other Hand I Do Enjoy Watching The Law And While The Profession May Have Its Problems, I Have Sold Zillions Of Books Out Of Magnifying Them.

I've Sold Too Many Books To Get Good Reviews Anymore. There's A Lot Of Jealousy, Because [reviewers] Think They Can Write A Good Novel Or A Best-seller And Get Frustrated When They Can't. I've Learned To Despise Them.

I Was A Lawyer For 10 Years, And Several Of My Clients Had The Misfortune, Through No Fault Of My Own, Of Going To Prison. I Visited Them Occasionally.

So Many Book Sections In Newspapers And Magazines Used To Be Lively And Vibrant Places. Now They Are Gone. You Just Don't See Many Reviews Anymore. I Can't Control That, So I Don't Worry About It. I Just Try To Do What I Do And Write Books That People Find Every Entertaining. I Don't Worry About The Critics.

You Burn A Man's Pickup, And He's Ready For War.
