Never
|
Nov 07, 2020

I write crime novels and thrillers - I'm a big fan of cops. You can never forget that they run towards what everyone else runs away from.

Nov 07, 2020

A decade in advertising exposed me to plenty of schemers and backstabbers. But honestly, advertising is wonderful training for fiction. Writing novels is much easier if you've ever tried to write a billboard.

Me

Nov 07, 2020

The best thing about writing speculative fiction is the opportunity to satirize the whole wide world. The America in 'A Better World' isn't ours, but it's pretty close, so I could lampoon everything from partisan politics to the cult of celebrity to our general disaffection. To me, all that is the point.

City
|
Nov 07, 2020

I make no promises every book will be about Chicago, but it's so inspiring. It's a city of such contradictions. I love to write about it.

First
|
Nov 07, 2020

I still miss my first car. Not a glamorous ride, but I must've put 60,000 miles in road trips on that thing.

Geek
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm a card-carrying nerd, a gamer, and sci-fi geek.

Modern
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've always been fascinated by mythology or, in modern parlance, by X-Men or vampires.

Feel
|
Nov 07, 2020

For me, the best moments in storytelling are the ones where I feel I'm discovering something.

Brain
|
Nov 07, 2020

The notion of a writer sitting in a library doing research isn't what I want. The research I love doing isn't found in a book. It's what it feels like to rappel down the side of a building; to train with a SWAT team; to hold a human brain in your hands; or to dive for pirate treasure. Those are things I've done to research my stories.

Feel
|
Nov 07, 2020

The first job of a storyteller is to make the reader feel the story, to get the reader to live in the skin of the character.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm not at all upset to be considered a crime novelist. But for me, it's never really about the crime or the violence. I'm much more interested in exploring issues.

Nov 07, 2020

One of the things that I love about crime novels is that you can turn the volume all the way up. If I can make somebody blow their subway stop, I win.

Hate
|
Nov 07, 2020

In 1791, the right to bear arms to defend against an over-reaching government wasn't theoretical. Today, it's hard to imagine physical weapons serving the same purpose. But it's easy to see how hacktivists might - especially if you broaden the opponents to include hate groups and rapacious multinationals.

Everything
|
Nov 07, 2020

As the Occupy Movement demonstrated, it's tough to change anything when you're talking about everything.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

When people ask me where I get my ideas, I lie. I tell them I draw inspiration from the news, the world, my dreams. Or I joke and say that I steal from other writers. I lie because I don't know where ideas come from, and I'm afraid if I look too hard, they'll stop coming.

Great
|
Nov 07, 2020

For me, one of the hallmarks of a really great book is that I'm seeing it in my head while I'm reading.

Nov 07, 2020

As an author, it's a strange process to watch your novel turned into a movie. It's tremendously exciting but somewhat voyeuristic; after all, novelists are rarely involved in the process.

God
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don't know if this is the flat-out strangest, but I'll never forget handling a human brain. It had been sliced into sections for autopsy, each about an inch thick, and felt like pork tenderloin. I swear to god, my first thought was that if you were to dust it with chipotle and cinnamon and saute it in butter, it would probably be delicious.

Nov 07, 2020

If you pick up a copy of 'A Better World,' you'll lose those last five pounds while saving a baby seal under a rainbow. I kid. It'll be ten pounds.

Like
|
Nov 07, 2020

I like female characters that are strong in their own right and not because the author said so.
