The Book I Always Say That Influenced Me, Subconsciously, Because At The Time I Didn't Know I Wanted To Be A Writer, Was William Goldman's 'marathon Man.' That Was The First Adult Thriller That I Loved. I Read It When I Was 15 Or So, When My Father Gave It To Me.

I'm Also Inspired By Anything That I Consider Great. It Makes Me Want To Raise My Game Too - Hitchcock Movies, Hopper Paintings, Springsteen Concerts.

My House Has Too Many Distractions. There's The Email. There's Checking My Amazon Ranking. I Know I'm The Only Author Who's Ever Done That, Ever. There's The Fax. Too Many Distractions. I Like To Go Out And Write.

You Can't Have An Up Without A Down, A Right Without A Left, A Back Without A Front - Or A Happy Without A Sad.
