FACT: The Priory of Sion - a European secret society founded in 1099 - is a real organization.

Politics was not just about winning the election, it was about winning decisively--having the momentum to carry out one's vision.

Science tells me God must exist. My mind tells me I will never understand God. And my heart tells me I am not meant to.

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.

She saved my life...and I’ve ruined hers. They sat in silence for a full minute, the air between them growing heavy, as if they both wanted to speak, and yet had nothing to say. They were strangers, after all, on a brief and bizarre journey that had just reached a fork in the road, each of them now needing to find seperate paths.
