Q. What is your motto or maxim?
A. The truth will set you free. It might not make you rich and popular, but it will certainly set you free.
Q. What is your biggest pet peeve?
A. People who shout into their cell phones at restaurants or in the gym
Q. How would you describe perfect happiness?
A. Living absolutely in the present, with no thoughts of the future. And a cup of Earl Grey tea very close at hand.
Q. With whom in history do you most identify?
A. This question runs the risk of wishful thinking. I identify with Oscar Wilde. But I wouldn't compare my work to his.
Q. If you could meet any historical character, who would it be and what would you say to him or her?
A. I would like to meet Alexander The Great. So I could ask him out to dinner...and if he's seeing anyone right now.

2. The Capitol Hotel in Little Rock has the best chicken friend steak in this solar system.
3. If you're going to be stuck on a small commuter jet that has no AC make sure you're sitting next to fierce performance artist (and memoirst) Stacey Ann Chin.
4. Morning shows sometimes ask serious, substantive questions. Don't go in prepared to field a bunch of light questions about your mother. They might actually ask you where your characters come from.
5. There is no looking perfectly pressed on a book tour.... see more

People who meet me in person after reading my work (or short synopses of my work) often tell me they think I'm funny. Why don't I try my hand at a comedy? Why not, I think? Last year, I took this idea to my good friend, writer Eric Shaw Quinn. "I think I'll try my hand at comedy," I announced proudly."Ah, yes," he responded with a wistful smile. "A comedy in which dark forces kill hundreds of people. I can't wait."
I am, however, perfectly capable of writing funny bits of dialogue which I sandwich in between terrorist bombings and the unearthing of decades-old, family-destroying secrets. That counts for something, right?
