“I love mysteries. To fall into a mystery and its danger … everything becomes so intense in those moments. When most mysteries are solved, I feel tremendously let down. So I want things to feel solved up to a point, but there’s got to be a certain percentage left over to keep the dream going.

Da...

Thanks for fueling all my worst nightmares with "Sleepless." I've given away about a dozen or so copies of that book, because, spread the fear and paranoia, I say.

Just saw you had a tumblr. Thought i'd come say thanks for the Joe Pitt series. I'd count them in my top ten books of all time (one entry for all 5). I recommend them to people all the time. When are we gonna get a tv show?

Steady on.

One school of thought suggests that I should not post pictures of sets being built on the Powers sound stages.

Fuck that school of thought. Fuck it right in its ear.
