I Write Because I Can't Imagine Not

The Kind Of Event On A Conveyor Belt That Causes A Fire Occurs In A Variety Of Industrial Environments, Not Uniquely In Coal Environments.

You Don't Write About The Horrors Of War. No. You Write About A Kid's Burnt Socks Lying In The Road.

If I Can Tell You The Story From Beginning To End In Five Minutes, I'm Ready To Start Writing.

Beat Him, Eat Him And Get Out.

I Don't Write Police Stories, Per Se, But I Usually Write About Areas That Are Very Panoramic, Like Harlem, Or The Lower East Side, Or A Small Urban City Like Jersey City.
