I often think how different my life would have been - how much happier - if you'd been a part of it. One day. Michael Robotham one-daydifferentthinking If I become the man you want, I wouldn't be the man I am. Michael Robotham he-manwantmen Love and pain are not the same. But sometimes it feels like they should be. Love is put to test everyday. Pain is not. Yet the two of them are inseparable because true love cannot bear separation. Michael Robotham painlove-istwo People who lose children have their hearts warped into weird shapes. Some try to deny it has happened. Some pretend it hasn't. Losing friends or parents is not the same. To lose a child is beyond comprehension. It defies biology. It contradicts the natural order of history and genealogy. It derails common sense.

It loses none of its brilliance or colour. It comes up the same. It survives shipwrecks and time. Michael Robotham true-friendfatherlying People think it’s easy to be cynical and pessimistic, but it’s incredibly hard work. It’s much easier to be hopeful. Michael Robotham hard-workpeoplethinking One of the strange things about friendship is that time together isn't cancelled out by time apart. One doesn't erase the other or balance it on some invisible scale. You can spend a few hours with someone and they will change your life, or you can spend a lifetime with a person and remain unchanged.

Michael Robotham dreamsbadsleepchildren Violence is inevitable in crime novels, but there are many different ways to tell a story. I use my characters' reactions to illustrate the worst moments rather than let readers witness them at first hand. Michael Robotham storycrimeviolencemoments I'm very critical of crime novels that use gratuitous violence to shock readers when it isn't necessary.
