“For 'So Cold the River, ' I'm actually working on adapting the book with Scott Silver, who was just nominated for an Oscar for 'The Fighter, ' and who also wrote '8 Mile, ' which I think is a terrific screenplay. The chance to work with Scott is a tremendous pleasure and I'm learning a lot.”

I made a very conscious effort to finish 'The Cypress House' before 'So Cold the River' launched, because I thought that would help build a buffer between my writing and any impact that came from either the success or the failure of that first book.
It takes a long time to learn that a courtroom is the last place in the world for learning the truth.
Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself, and know that everything in life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from.
Rich people without wisdom and learning are but sheep with golden fleeces.
