• Intento escribir sobre temas complejos -jóvenes en un mundo de adultos-, llenos de ironía y contradicciones, en un estilo narrativo que se basa en gran medida en el suspense, con una textura rica en emociones e imágenes. Me satisface mucho utilizar formas populares -la aventura, el misterio, el thriller- para atrapar al lector con el puro placer de una buena historia. Al mismo tiempo, intento que mis libros se resuelvan con una ambigüedad que obligue a comprometerse. En resumen, quiero que mis lectores sientan, piensen y, a veces, rían. Pero, sobre todo, quiero que disfruten de una buena lectura.

• Now give me a kiss, say you love me and off you go." "Sure, Aunt Lu," I said, and I gave her the kiss she wanted. Then I ran out and caught my bus. I didn't say I loved her. I guess I did. But asking someone to say they love you--and she always asked--is like buying yourself a birthday present. It's more than likely exactly what you want. But it must make you feel awfully sad to get it.

  Love You, Kissing, Aunt
