“I have never written a book that I wouldn't want to read. The trouble is, I love to read horror, sf, fantasy, mysteries, hero pulps - romantic fiction, in the original, traditional meaning of that term, as opposed to mimetic fiction. But most of all, I love thrillers.” WantBookTermFictionFantasyWrittenTroubleMysteryHeroHorrorOriginalsTraditionalThrillersPulpLove To Read Author:F. Paul Wilson
“I define a thriller as a big-stakes, multiple-viewpoint novel involving suspense, action, and mystery, in which the reader doesn't know everything but usually knows more than any single character.” KnowsCharacterBigsActionNovelMysteryReaderSuspenseStakesMultipleInvolvingThrillersViewpoints Author:F.

“I had an idea for a medical conspiracy thriller. Since it was non-horror, I didn't want the publishers and editors bringing a lot of baggage - my history as a genre writer in the SF and horror fields, for instance - to the novel when they read it. I wanted them to consider the book solely on its own merits. So I called myself Colin Andrews. I was tired of seeing my books at floor level. Not that Herman Wouk and Phyllis Whitney and William Wharton are bad company, but I wanted to be up at eye level for a change, where people with bad backs could get a chance to see my books.” PeopleWantBookIdeasEyeWantedChanceLevelsCompanyNovelSeeingFieldsHorrorTiredMedicalInstanceGenreMeritEditorsConspiracyPublishersThrillersBaggageAndrewWhitneyBad Company Author:F.
