"Daniel Silva's "The Collector." Daniel writes the way I dream of writing. In my mind, he writes sentences the way I imagine traveling down a beautiful river in a fly-fishing boat: smooth and natural and clear."
"That book zoomed like a rocket into my emotionality. I was amazed by the tenacity and the improvisation of living with nothing and making a life of something. It really made an impact on me."
""The Clan of the Cave Bear," by Jean M. Auel, was the first book I ever read, and it was a triumph for me. I got a sense of what it was like to live at that time. I was so moved by the characters' journey."
