迈克尔·康奈利

“高中时我写了一个推理故事，算是家庭作业。故事的名字是《完美的谋杀》。主人公的名字叫McEvoy,后来写《诗人》时我也用了这个名字。16岁时我目睹过一桩犯罪，由此激发了我对犯罪小说和推理故事的兴趣。”

康奈利在弗罗里达大学学习写作时，他的老师是作家哈里·克罗斯。

真实事件通常是康奈利的灵感源泉。《血型拼图》的故事得自康奈利的一个朋友的经历，他的这位朋友通过外科移植手术活了下来，但却总有一种罪恶感，因为知道正是别人的死成就了他的生。这部小说被改编成同名电影，演员阵容包括克林特·伊斯特伍德、安吉里卡·休斯顿等。

“关于我，除了我的书，我不喜欢别人知道得更多。”

1994年迈克尔·康奈利得到了一个对他写作生涯有极大帮助的“红包”。时任美国总统的比尔·克林顿夹着一本《混凝土里的金发女郎》步出华盛顿某家书店，这一幕被拍了下来。康奈利对《今日美国》发表评论说：“六年来我一直在写书，而这是我经历过的最令人颤抖的一刻。”
