Thomas Perry

I do want to write about Jane Whitefield again, but only when I have a good enough idea - something I've figured out about her that's news and that's worth a reader's time.

It was a lot of fun, and writing a series is comfortable. It's almost like having a secure job.

Reading a novel in which all characters illustrate patience, hard work, chastity, and delayed gratification could be a pretty dull experience.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

Buddha means awareness, the awareness of body and mind that prevents evil from arising in either.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.
