Quotes
“I'm not a pulp writer. I'm a first-class writer who happens to tell stories with the skill of a trained journalist.” - Mickey Spillane
“You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.” - Frank Zappa
“I like pulp fiction. I like characters who are larger than life, colorful, have strong voices and are capable of independent thought and action. I like stories where anything can happen and usually does, especially to the people you least expect. I like endings that are open and ambiguous, that leave the reader with something to think about. I like stories that have a moral, but not a message. I like stories that are funny, but not necessarily comedies.” - Jeffery Deaver
