Guy Kay is probably my favorite and the writer I most want to emulate.

The closer you can get to your setting and to primary sources, the more authentic your history is going to be.

I love magic and playing with magic systems. But to me, good fantasy like all fiction comes down to good character and plotting.

I listen to instrumental jazz and bluegrass, but aside from my AM workout, I have no rituals.

Before writing, I start with a series of questions, specific things I need to know before I can write the book... That list grows and changes as I do more and more research. But when I've answered the bulk of the questions, I begin to write.

Guy Gavriel Kays Tigana is, in my opinion, one of the best, if not the best fantasy novel ever written. Its beautifully written, the characters are unforgettable, the worldbuilding is exquisite.
