Richard M. Helms Quote

I've always believed that good writing comes from experience. I have been approached by a number of younger students, people in their twenties, who have asked 'Where do you get your ideas?'. Of course, ideas are all around us - in the morning paper, the weekly news, even overheard in crowded restaurants, courtrooms, and sports arenas. When you write stories about the human experience of crime, there is no shortage of material in the things people do every day.
