I have been involved in lots of crossover and event books, and the truth is, I dearly love them. I love stories that actually take advantage of the huge DC library and catalog - that stuff thrills me.

I love stories that give me a perspective on how easy American life has become in the 21st century.
There are a lot of great love stories. It's just the best thing. Why wouldn't you write about it? Why wouldn't you want to read about it? But it's hard to write about. It's weird to have such a powerful and universal feeling and hope that you can write that and make it real for people.

People love stories about the mafia: 'The Godfather,' 'American Gangster.'
You know, we love stories and we love narrative; we love to get lost in an author's world.
