John Sandford Quote
"I write late at night - 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. When I work on a book, I work every day. Basically, I try to physically write four hours a day."
"I enjoy tightly plotted novels with solid, likable characters; I like a little romance, I like a really BAD bad guy -- but maybe a bad guy who's aware of his own problems -- and I like a big bang at the end, rather than a whimper."
