"I started writing very early, in high school. I continued through
college and while I pursued a law degree at the University of Virginia.
During my years as an active attorney, I wrote in the late evening and
anytime I had a spare moment. It was my private passion."

"For me, doing my own research is essential to the writing process.
Until I am in the midst of a chapter, paragraph, or even dialogue
between characters, I never know what my research can bring to the
story. Bottom line - if I cut corners on being less than thorough with
the research, the story will suffer."

"I have so many stories I want to tell and explore that I am not able
to accept story ideas from others. With my current and projected work
schedule, honestly, I would not be able to give outside ideas the
thought and writing time that they would need."
|
|
"I enjoy getting out from behind the writer's solitary desk and talking
with readers and fellow authors. My Web site will list the cities where
I will be signing. Check the site often, my schedule can change very
quickly when I am on book tour."

"I'm working on the spring 2010 book and just finishing the final edits on the fall 2009 book, True Blue. I receive thousands of emails through the Website about another Camel Club adventure. I don’t think I’m finished with John Carr and the gang so I’m thinking about bringing them back soon. In the meantime, look for the new book, True Blue, on October 27th! |

"I am always thinking about and seeking story ideas. As a writer, you
can never 'turn off' your passion for the written word and love of a
great story. So I watch life, listen intently, and basically drive
everyone around me a bit crazy as I absorb every environment in which I
find myself. And believe me, being naturally curious uncovers many
possible storylines. Writers have to see the world exactly as it is,
and then go a step further and realize the potential of what could be
there."

"I have over 90 million copies of my books in print worldwide, translated into more than 45 languages and sold in more than 80 countries." |
|
"I admire many of the traditional southern scribes: Flannery O'Connor,
Lee Smith, Eudora Welty, Harper Lee, Walker Percy, and Truman Capote.
Since college I have been reading and re-reading works by Anne Tyler,
and John Irving. I've also been reading Graham Greene and Patricia
Highsmith. And I am never far from a well-read copy of Mark Twain."
|
"I have several film projects being considered and I continue to work
with producers in Los Angeles on getting my books to the 'big screen'.
Keep checking the web site for updates."
