Harry Bosch is a amalgamation of many characters I met on the [Los Angeles] police scene. There's a lot of truth in my fiction.

It's a measure of how complicated the world has gotten since 9-11, when thousands were wiped out. Just because statistics tell us that violent crime is actually down, that doesn't mean that people aren't scared.

We are working on our deficit.

We've just had an abnormally dry winter.

Our goal with this legislation, as well as our mission as faith-based, non-profit hospitals, is to help the most vulnerable in society, in this case, those without health insurance.

We are greatly encouraged by the success and national attention Massachusetts has earned when it decided that health insurance is something no one should go without. We want to build on that progress and keep this important dialogue going in order to make covering the uninsured a national priority.

I think the only boundaries are individual and personal. A writer should be free to write about anything he or she wants to, including the twin towers. I have made small references to 9/11 in my past two books.

I realize now I could have gotten a whole book out of that and so I think that was a big mistake. But the truth is you write in the moment and with your head down and there is no way back then that I could have conceived of Harry having the longevity that he has had.

I don't profess to be an expert. I know what I like. I never saw Miles Davis, but wish I had. I'd like to see him, Coltrane and Art Pepper playing at the Hollywood Bowl.

What is overriding that and most important is that readers generally are interested in a good character. They might be more comfortable with Harry because they think they know him, but they always seem willing to give somebody new a chance.

I think Harry and jazz go together for a lot of reasons. For the most part, he listens to artists who had to struggle to make their music, whether because of their personal demons and ills or those of society. They had to fight to make their music, and that is the bridge to Harry. In his own way, he has to fight to make his music.

I think I would spend the first 30 weeks not writing, just clearing my head and seeing parts of the world I haven't seen and going back to places I have seen and love.

I wrote a book about a child killer once and part of the narrative is from his point of view. There was/is nothing wrong with that book. In fact, it's one of my most popular. But now that I am a father, I would not do that again.

To write more from memory and to be more creative - I think - because I am still writing about Los Angeles but I can't walk out my door and immediately drive to places I am writing about. So I think it has been a very good change for me after 11 books to start writing this way.

I may sound facetious but I really think these stories are all interrelated and therefore really only one series.
