Robert Pozen

Work, Law, Risk

Peter Carey

Great, Freedom, Past

Wilfred Burchett

Eric Massa

Life, Friendship, Decision

Brian Lumley

Business, Pleasure, Writers

People make me key chains... someone attached a Dauntless symbol to a silver pen. That one is what I use to sign books. I use that a lot.

Veronica Roth

Love, Waiting, Someone
