The thing is, if you make best-sellerdom your goal, you're going to be in trouble. It's a very nice thing to have happen, but if one makes that a goal like, say, a literary writer has the goal of getting the Pulitzer Prize, that's so unpredictable.

I like cream cheese in just about anything.

I told the caterer I'd work for nothing if he'd teach me about catering. I lasted one week full-time. It was exhausting.

I write in the morning - and then I'm always experimenting and tasting recipes for the books.

In a mystery, the sleuth must be believably involved and emotionally invested in solving the crime.

After I outlined 'Catering to Nobody,' I went and worked for a caterer. And the other thing I had to do was to talk to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department about how they investigated a crime.

One thing that improved my cooking skills was being a poor student in California... If you don't have much money, you have to learn to cook.

Catering is extremely demanding financially and physically. It's a business.

Writing is work and cooking is relaxing.
