book writing lucky
Most of my books are about contemporary subjects, and the world changes so fast that I'm lucky when events haven't overtaken the book I'm writing at the moment.
writing thinking machines
I like the process of pencil and paper as opposed to a machine. I think the writing is better when it's done in handwriting.
years wish suspense
Absolutely breathtaking, nail-biting, and edge-of-your-seat. Michael Koryta is a master at maintaining suspense and a hell of a good writer. THOSE WHO WISH ME DEAD is one of the best chase-and-escape novels you’ll read this year-or any other year. The pace never lets up.
drinking cutting promise
…made me promise to cut down on the drinking and swearing, which I have. Unfortunately, this has left me dim-witted and nearly speechless.
trying use chapters
I try to use short sentences, short paragraphs and short chapters to keep the reader's interest.
worry devil faces
Somehow our devils are never quite what we expect when we meet them face to face.
real humanity firsts
If everyone howled at every injustice, every act of barbarism, every act of unkindness, then we would be taking the first step towards a real humanity.
motivation journey maps
We're all pilgrims on the same journey but some pilgrims have better road maps.
