How do you feel about other technothriller writers, such as Tom Clancy, Dale Brown, Larry Bond, Clive Cussler or Stephen Coonts?
But how do you compare your writing to your competitors? What do you have to offer that they do not? Do you feel that your work competes with Tom Clancy’s? What do you think about the old saying, “write about what you know?” Is it true? If so, does that limit your writing to exactly what you know (how do you write about a woman’s point of view?) or is there a way to go beyond what you know? What is the best way to do research? Is it difficult? Some of the technology featured in your novels — like DNA processor-controlled computers, WritePad computers, orbiting web servers, plutonium-dust warheads and 300 knot underwater missiles — doesn’t exist yet. How did you come up with those things? What about deadlines? Are they difficult? How would you look back on your writing career? If you had it to do over, would you? And what would you do differently? Any final advice to prospective writers? I want to read your entire series. Should I start with the first one, Voyage of the Devilfish? Wha
