There's little more rewarding for me that finding the perfect way to express a thought in an exquisitely turned phrase. It's all about seeing myself as an artist. Deeply satisfying.(less)

You have to exercise it regularly to keep it in prime working order. Also, writing doesn't always have to be geared toward a book. It's all about thoughtfully producing any written text. I even obsess about wording my cell phone messages in interesting ways. I believe it's also crucial for writers to read a tremendous amount. I learn so much about the structure of language from reading. I have seldom read a book from which I haven't learned something about how to sting words together. Sometimes I find I learn more from a badly written book than from the best. It's a case of 'what not to do in my next book.'(less)

The Silver in a Michi-Gray Day – Excerpt

Bangkok is reputed to be an oven all year around. But the city was setting records for heat and humidity when we arrived at Suvarnabhumi Airport. “Welcome to the Land of Smiles” read a banner over the entrance to the arrivals hall. “How can Thais smile in this heat?” I remember asking Guy. Even inside the air-conditioned airport we could feel the sizzle of the streets beyond. Guy was used to a
