Being a parent is not for the faint of heart. I may joke about knowing fear, but the fact is, the first time I ever knew real fear was the day Charlotte, my first child, was born. Suddenly there is someone in the world you care about more than anything. – Harlan Coben
I can write pretty much anywhere if you give me time and some quiet. The home is not usually the best place because I have four children. Its usually pandemonium around here! – Harlan Coben
The readers are the ones who let us live our dreams. I try to write books which are really compelling – that youd take on vacation and rather than going out, youd read in your hotel room because you had to find out what happened. Hopefully thats what readers are responding to. – Harlan Coben
I am very lucky that I get to tell stories for a living. I love being able to grab peoples attention, to keep them turning the pages, to make them stay awake all night. I want to stir the pulse, yes, but also to stir the heart. I hope The Woods does that. – Harlan Coben
