“Talent is a gift that can be given, and it can be taken away. We have to appreciate that.”
“I will not write about anyplace in the world unless I've been there to personally research it.”
“What I do is put my characters into situations that are so precarious there is no way to get out. And then I figure how to get them out.”
“I go to great lengths to make certain situations feel right to the reader.”
“If there is any secret to my success, I think it's that my characters are very real to me. I feel everything they feel, and therefore I think my readers care about them.”
“I try to give both my heroes and villains an emotional dimensionality which provides the motivation for their actions.”
“I think that's because believable action is based on authenticity, and accuracy is very important to me. I always spend time researching my novels, exploring the customs and attitudes of the county I'm using for their setting.”
“Stories had always been told about male genies coming out of bottles, but they were usually fat, old men. Never had the genie been a gorgeous woman, so that idea really appealed to me, and I created the series based on that premise.”
“I wanted to make sure that the man who found the genie would not take terrible advantage of her, so he needed to be a person of integrity and honor - which is why I made the male lead an astronaut. The rest, as they say, is history.”
