There’s always time to read. Don’t trust a writer who doesn’t read. It’s like eating food prepared by a cook who doesn’t eat Picture Quote #1

It must be nice to be so strong and to think it’s because you’re so good, that you live right and eat right, so you deserve your health and happiness. But there is such a thing as luck, and there’s more bad luck than good in this world Picture Quote #1

I think I’m part of a generation of crime writers all of whom woke up independently and recoiled with horror at the fact that we’d chosen this very conservative genre Picture Quote #1

The competition for the future of crime fiction is fierce, as it should be, but don’t take your eyes off Craig McDonald. He’s wily, talented and-rarest of the rare-a true original. He writes melancholy poetry that actually has melancholy poets wandering around, but don’t turn your backs on them, either. I am always eager to see what he’s going to do next Picture Quote #1

It’s smarter to be lucky than it’s lucky to be smart Picture Quote #1

I’ve gotten to do a lot of stuff, traveled, worked hard at my career Picture Quote #1

It must be nice to be so strong and to think it’s because you’re so good, that you live right and eat right, so you deserve your health and happiness. But there is such a thing as luck, and there’s more bad luck than good in this world Picture Quote #1

Whatever you want, at any moment, someone else is getting it. Whatever you have, someone else is longing for Picture Quote #1

The past was worth remembering and knowing in its own right. It was not behind us, never truly behind us, but under us, holding us up, a foundation for all that was to come and everything that had ever been Picture Quote #1

There’s always time to read. Don’t trust a writer who doesn’t read. It’s like eating food prepared by a cook who doesn’t eat Picture Quote #1

There are, of course, an infinite number of places where one is not, yet only one place where one actually is Picture Quote #1
