As a storyteller, my first real love was crime, and it was in that genre that I finished my first novel starring the perpetually miserable Alex Casey, whose entire life was a wound that never healed.
The book sold as fast as they hit the shelves. I wrote five more Alex Casey books, and they all were bestsellers. I became rich. I became famous. Success brought pressure,and I didn't handle it very well.
