It's impossible for me to disentangle how much of my storytelling urge is the product of growing up with novelist parents and how much is a genetic legacy from those same parents.

All my books deal with the effect of intent upon action, how our understanding of good and evil depends heavily on context.

The most important lesson my parents taught me is that writing is a job, one that requires discipline and commitment. Most of the time it's a fun job, a wonderful job, but sometimes it isn't, and those are the days that test you.

I'll put my conservative record up against anybody's record. I have a 10-year career in public service, and I'm proud of the things I've been able to accomplish.
