So what? All writers are lunatics!

She is a real bookworm. I think she lives on print. Her whole house is full of books - looks as if she likes them better than human company.

And my father always took me to the library. We were both book addicts.

Nothing chased nightmares away faster than the rustle of printed paper.

If you keep pretending you're in that book, it will make you not want to live in the life you're in.

Perhaps there's another, much larger story behind the printed one, a story that changes just as our own world does. And the letters on the page tell us only as much as we'd see peering through a keyhole. Perhaps the story in the book is just the lid on a pan: It always stays the same, but underneath there's a whole world that goes on - developing and changing like our own world.

And I plan to write a sequel to Dragon Rider.
