The process of writing is a little like madness, a kind of possession not altogether benign.

As authors, we all expect criticism from time to time, and we all have our ways of coping with unfriendly reviews.

I don't think I've ever had a mentor. The closest thing is my friend Christopher Fowler, another writer. Chris kept me sane for a long time before I made it.

The process of giving is without limits.

Places have their own characters. . . . But the people begin to look the same.
