Nelson DeMille

Somehow our devils are never quite what we expect when we meet them face to face.

Stephen King once told me he liked my writing. And that was great.

I used the pen name because I knew I wanted to write better novels under my own name someday.

A school without football is in danger of deteriorating into a medieval study hall.

I never feel more alone than when I'm traveling. Alone and, to some extent, helpless. The world expects a certain level of competence and can be merciless when this expectation is unmet.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.
