I think the Internet, particularly the availability of information, is great. I do a lot of correspondence on-line and have a chat line to talk to my fans as well

The horse, the noblest, bravest, proudest, most courageous and certainly the most perverse and infuriating animal that humans ever domesticated

I have a shelf of comfort books, which I read when the world closes in on me or something untoward happens

I wouldn't encourage new writers to start off publishing through electronic media... it still isn't wide enough for the readership they would need to get a good start

The blackest night must end in dawn, the light dispel the dreamer's fear.

I have always used emotion as a writing tool. That goes back to me being on the stage

People have freaked out when I tell them that my dragons are scientifically based... what else can you call a genetically engineered life form?
