I'm very fond of the Talent series, and also the Crystal Singer trio.

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 think writers need windows on a view to remind them that a whole world is out there, not the minutiae with which they might be dealing on a close scale

To cry was to release all sorts of ugly little pressures and tensions. Like waking out of a long, dark dream to a sun-filled day.

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

Because we build the worlds we wouldn't mind living in. They contain scary things, problems, but also a sense of rightness that makes them alive and makes us want to live there.

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