Somebody asks, how can be you borne sit over to sign 5 hours all the time? I say, because I remember the period of unmanned at that time make inquires, compared with in those days I more aux would rather choice now, this is much more marvellous, this is much better, somebody wants to read the thing that I write, this is just we speak of, the heart that be thankful, understand, I am very lucky can have a reader, can come to China, should be informed me to there also are a lot of readers in China, I also expect to be able to see them personally.

Cao Kefan: You still sum up writing experience into an article, cry " strong language 7 laws " , can you share with us specific which 7 laws be?
Dan Braun: Myself is written down not clear, but I think 7 the likelihood is more than, I still remember have among them nevertheless, that should have the sense of urgency of time namely, that is to say suspense novel is to have a time paragraph, time is in elapse, you cannot spin the time line of the novel indefinitely forever, a few incident need to happen in specific time Duan Li, I all novels are to be in the 24 stories that produce in the hour, I am met so setting, I think the reader also likes such arrangement very much, because read,rise sensory story advances very quickly.
