I'm a fan of the truth... even if it's painfully hard to accept.

If I'm not at my desk by 4 AM, I feel like I'm missing my most productive hours. In addition to starting early, I keep an antique hour glass on my desk and every hour break briefly to do pushups, sit-ups, and some quick stretches. I find this helps keep the blood (and ideas) flowing.

Oh, this faithless world! Someone must deliver them. You. If not you, who? You have been saved for a reason. Show them the old demons. Remind them of their fear. Apathy is death.

Don't spend...but mend yourself.

As strange as this may sound, I very seldom read fiction. Because my novels require so much research, almost everything I read is non - fiction - histories, biographies, translations of ancient texts.
Dan Brown

By its very nature, history is always a one-sided account.

Books make great gifts because they can unveil hidden secrets.

I think one reason my books have found mainstream success is that they're written from a skeptical point of view.
