"At that point, I sat down and made an alphabetical list of all the crime related words I could think of. So here I am now, nearly half-way through, probably tied up until the year 2015 or SO."
Crime
"I started writing seriously when I was 18, wrote my first novel when I was 22, and I've never stopped writing since."
