I'm 78, I'm on my pension in Ireland, and all that good stuff

My eyes are green, my hair is silver and I freckly; the rest is subject to change without notice.

I don't often reread my own books, unless I am going into another in the series and need to refresh my mood when originating the concept

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

But I will say that living in Ireland has changed the cadence and fullness of speech, since the Irish love words and use as many of them in a sentence as possible

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

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