"Research. I read books, read Pravda, interviewed lots of Russians, went to university professors who were specialists in Soviet Russia, looked
at maps and timetables. What do people do when they write historical novels? Research. Basic to all such books is the belief that human nature
remains constant, that people change because of their circumstances and location, in addition to their time in history. The trick is to get
the background right, create the characters and understand what they are doing in the context of their environment."

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”

William Faulkner

“When the Day of Judgment dawns and people, great and small, come marching in to receive their heavenly rewards, the Almighty will gaze upon the mere bookworms and say to Peter, “Look, these need no reward. We have nothing to give them. They have loved reading.”
