"Ashton Ford will come as something of a surprise to those of you who have been with me over the years. This is not the same type of fiction that established my success as a novelist; Ford is not a gutbuster and he is not trying to save the world from anything but its own confusion. There are no grenade launchers or rockets to solve his problems and he is more of a lover than a fighter. I have grown, I hope, both as a person and as a writer, and I needed another vehicle to carry the creative quest. Ashton Ford is that vehicle."

“In my profession it isnâ€™t a question of telling good literature from bad. Really good literature is seldom appreciated in its own day. The best authors die poor, the bad ones make money â€” itâ€™s always been like that. What do I, an agent, get out of a literary genius who wonâ€™t be discovered for another hundred years? Iâ€™ll be dead myself then. Successful incompetents are what I need.”
