The most obvious difference between writing novels and memoirs is that my memoirs are true stories, and explore certain experiences I've lived, and thus operate within the boundaries of memory and fact.

One thing that I don't ever want to do is write something I don't love.

Since the Middle Ages, people have been writing about angels. Angelology was actually at one point a scholastic discipline.

I don't think there are actually any theologians practicing angelology or studying angels anymore, but it's definitely in a lot of religious literature. It's still out there, and people are still interested. Even in the more secular way, books about angels are everywhere.

I always knew I wanted to write really imaginative fiction - fiction that was very different from my real life.

That's l'amour: we willingly walk into the future blindfolded.
