My plots rarely change in mid-stream, only the romance arc, or the character development catches me off-guard or an occasional nasty bit by the villain. It's not usually anything that changes the book too much-just steps up the intensity.

I have the main cast pretty down by now, so the monster or the murder, or the mystery comes first, then I write new characters that are needed to make the mystery work.

I love animals, always have, and it seemed natural to help the ASPCA. Animals have no voice of their own, so we have to be that voice.

I've lost track of the number of people who want to be writers but never actually write anything. Talking about writing, dreaming about writing, can be very fun, but it won't get a book written. You've got to write.

Perfection is an unattainable goal. It isn't going to be perfect. Just get words down on paper, and when you stumble to what you think is the end of the book, you will have hundreds of pages of words that came out of your head. It may not be perfect, but it looks like a book.

What we prefer to read is sort of like sexual preference, you like what you like. Most of the time you have no clue why.

I was more interested in what would happen if we all woke up tomorrow and had to deal with real monsters in the real world. How would it work? What would we do? What would it change if the break came that late in our development as a society?

I am the world's worst hinter. I always give too much away.

I am a very linear thinker, so I write beginning to end. I write hundreds of pages per book that never make it into print.

I write about shapeshifters, too, and they get to do more than just drink blood.

Everyone is always wanting some horrible-or at least interesting-incident that pushed me into dark fantasy, but I think I just came this way.

I'd read a few books about the fey that came close to capturing what I thought the fey should really be like, but no one had really done it the way I wanted to see it done. So I decided to do it myself.

One of my rules is never explain. A writer is a lot like a magician, if you explain how the trick works then a lot of the magic turns mundane.

When I first started writing, I did two pages a day, five or six days a week. On my worst day I could do two pages before I had to get to work in corporate America. I was working a full-time job when I started my first book, so I know it's hard to fit it in, but not impossible.

When I go to a room, I check people out. You'll often see me wanting to sit with my back to a wall, more cautious than I would have been.

If I'd been easily discouraged, I could have been a one-hit wonder.

I think that my vampires in general were influenced by my being allowed to watch the Hammer vampire films. Vampire Circus, also shown as Circus of Fear, was one of those movies.

One book will often give me ideas for a totally different plot and a totally different location that will then push the other plots further down the line.

I'm more influenced by my own interests than anyone else's. Writers have to entertain themselves, or they can't entertain anyone else.

Two things I do well in books are sex and violence, but I don't want gratuitous sex or violence. The sex and violence are only as graphic as need be. And never included unless it furthers the plot or character development.
