Good Stories Are Driven By

Crime And Legal Stories, Broadly Speaking, Are Just Where My Interest Happens To Lie.

When I Was 30 Or So - By That Time I Had Become An Assistant D.a. - I Decided I Would Try To Write A Novel. To Be Clear: I Did Not Decide To Become A Novelist. Honestly, It Never Crossed My Mind That I Could Actually Earn A Living As A Professional Novelist.

At Some Point As Adults We Cease To Be Our Parents' Children And We Become Our Children's Parents Instead.

Predisposition Is Not Predestination.

The Act Does Not Create Guilt Unless The Mind Is Also Guilty.
