Ray Garton never fails to go for the throat!

My principles wouldn’t allow it.

No book, no matter how good, has a chance of reaching a large audience unless the publisher SEES the book’s value.

The great times are often that way. In the middle of everything, you suddenly realize that you’re having a perfect, golden experience. And you realize how few they are. And how this one is bound to end too soon. You know that it will always be a wonderful memory, that the loss of it will give you a soft ache in the heart. This.

It’s been my experience that worse-case scenarios are very rare indeed. Rare to the extend that you can almost count on them not happening.

Gonna get me one of them Jeep Cherokees with the four-wheel drive, and go all over the whole country in it.

I don’t worry much about whether or not one of my stories contains elements of the supernatural. If I come up with what I think is a nifty concept, I’ll give it a whirl.

My feeling about fiction, regardless of the genre, is that it is meant to be a representation of life. I want my books to give a whole spectrum of experiences to my readers. Not just fear or terror or revulsion, but excitement, laughter, pain, sorrow, desire, etc.

Bring a vampire around, people start discovering religion.

Love is always right.
