The drama in Brian's books is driven by the emotions and secrets of the characters. "My goal is to write books with haunting characters and a lightning-fast pace," he says. "My stories are about the hidden intimate motives that draw people across some terrible lines. The twists and turns keep you turning the pages, and each piece in the puzzle gives you new insight into the heroes, victims, and villains."
"I don't like books where the characters are all good or all bad," he adds. "I want them to live in the real world, where morality means tough choices and a lot of shades of gray. I hope that's why readers relate so intensely to the people in my books."
