I'd never had money growing up, and it's never been that important to me, except maybe to take our kids on a nice vacation or something like that.

I am, after all, a thriller writer. I routinely delve into the darkest chambers of the human heart. I've written about murder, kidnapping, depravity, horror, violence, and disfigurement.

I love to fool you once, I love to fool you twice, I love to fool you a third time. And just when you think it's all over, I have what I call that Carrie hand-out-of-the-grave moment. Just when you think it's all over, I'm going to hit you with just one more. I can't help myself.

I'm not a fan of self-help books - how can something be 'self-help' if the book itself is purportedly helping you?

I love to make even villains people you can relate to. When you find out who did it, I think you almost like the person, which is not easy to do.

A writer without a reader doesn't exist.

The readers are the ones who let us live our dreams. I try to write books which are really compelling - that you'd take on vacation and rather than going out, you'd read in your hotel room because you had to find out what happened. Hopefully that's what readers are responding to.

If I didn't write, I'd be like a duvet cover; I have no other marketable skills.

I once worked as a tour guide in the Costa del Sol of Spain.
