I don't think my books would've have been as successful as they are if the readers didn't think they were in the hands of a true crazy person. When I start a story, I don't know where it's going.

My heart was pounding, and I was sweating like I was there.
We think this week they keep rates unchanged but I think there is a reasonable chance of rates coming down in July and August and on the back of a continuously weakening European economy.
